Three lever-press suppression studies were conducted with water-deprived rats to investigate the role of similarity in proactive interference within first-order Pavlovian conditioning. Experiments la and 1b assessed the influence of stimulus complexity in proactive interference. Both experiments found greater interference when the interfering cue and target cue were composed of the same number of elements. Experiment 2 assessed the influence of context similarity in proactive interference and demonstrated that stronger proactive interference occurred when the interfering cue and the target cue were trained in the same context. The results in conjunction with other reports indicate that various types of cue interaction (e.g., interference and competition) are influenced by similarity of the interacting training events.
对缺水大鼠进行了三项杠杆按压抑制研究,以探讨相似性在一阶巴甫洛夫条件反射中 proactive 干扰中的作用。实验 1a 和 1b 评估了刺激复杂性在 proactive 干扰中的影响。两项实验均发现,当干扰线索和目标线索由相同数量的元素组成时,干扰更大。实验 2 评估了情境相似性在 proactive 干扰中的影响,并表明当干扰线索和目标线索在相同情境中训练时,会出现更强的 proactive 干扰。这些结果与其他报告表明,各种类型的线索相互作用(如干扰和竞争)受相互作用训练事件的相似性影响。
