Document Summary
Explains overshadowing more salient cs acquires more associative value that the less salient. Explains blocking shows the increase in associative value of the cs depends on the surprise of the cs: ex. If cs(1) has been strongly conditioned, the cs(1) could hold all the value of v, v is blocked. This model makes a surprising prediction that pairing two cs together can lower their conditioned association with the us: over expectation. Light food salivation: tone food salivation. Light tone food, lowers the conditioned response. With blocking, no association will be made with cs(2) because the cs perfectly predicts the us without the need of help.
