Rated attractiveness of male photos while listening to different genres of music to see the different effects on their preference in men (done by rating the men) More changes at the beginning than at the end. Both the cs and ucs happen at the same time. Pair primarily cs with another neutral stimulus (secondary cs) Not very effective cs-ucs bond is no longer reinforced. Degree of responding to stimuli similar to training stimulus. Thorndike"s law of effect stimulus and response bond is strengthened by reinforcement. Behavior that the experimenter wants the subject to learn is rewarded. Behavior that the experiment does not want the subject to perform is not rewarded.
