“…We find it interesting, as well as somewhat disconcerting when one considers cost, time, and talent, that we can obtain very similar effects on retention performance by stimulating the MRF and by simply flashing the houselight (cf. DeVietti et al, 1981; the present experiments). To date, the only discrepancy in the effects of these two treatments appears to be in the length of the enhancement gradient, a fact which may simply reflect a parametric problem.…”

“…Other rats did acquire a discrimination when either stimulus was differentially reinforced. Moreover, we recently reported (DeVietti et al, 1981) that presentation of a flashing light after each preexposure trial to a tone in a latent inhibition paradigm resulted in increased latent inhibition (decreased drink latencies) in the presence 01 the tone following fear conditioning in which the tone was paired with footshock. If the flashing light had been aversive, decreased latent inhibition (in.…”

“…This phenomenon, termed latent inhibition (LI; Lubow & Moore, 1959), has been demonstrated in a variety of species and tasks, and seldom occurs if fewer than 18 preexposure (PE) trials to the to-he-conditioned stimulus are administered (see Lubow, 1973, for a review). However, we have consistently obtained LI with six PE trials in a one-trial fear conditioning task (DeVietti, Emmerson, & Wittman, 1982;DeVietti, Wittman, & Comfort, 1980;DeVietti, Wittman, Emmerson, & Thacher, 1981). We are currently investigating the factor(s) responsible for our finding of the rapid development of LI.…”
