Abstract
Manipulation of the daily frequency and duration of the preconditioning stimulus exposure in Pavlovian conditioning of the nictitating membrane response of 32 New Zealand white rabbits suggested that the intensity of latent inhibition was related to the absolute frequency of preconditioning stimulus exposure trials, and apparently was a stepwise function of the frequency of daily preconditioning trials. Similarly, the intensity of latent inhibition was related to the absolute duration of the preconditioning stimulus exposure. However, latent inhibition accrued to the cumulative effect of all stimulus durations across days rather than only to the repetitive presentation of one stimulus.
