this is it. This could be because the A stimulus was stronger, and there had been a serious disassociation in the early trials during this phase. Second, this graph shows again that A is a stronger stimulus than B. Due to the higher response rate of A in the earlier trials, there is evidence that A has a stronger association than B. Finally, and most obviously, this graph shows that both A and B have declined in their associations with the US. The third and final graph is a representation of the most significant portion of the experiment. This reacquisition graph shows the amount of the responses to a reinforced X after extinction phase is complete. The results show that After the BX extinction, there was more responding to X than there was after the AX extinction. This finding could be related to the strength of the stimulus. Because A had been a strong stimuli, when paired with X, the compound stimulus suffered a greater decrease in responding to X when it was presented alone, and reinforced, most likely due to A having that strong association. On the contrary, the subjects that had been paired with BX during extinction, seemed to have a relatively easier time responding to X again when it was reinforced. This can be described using the same explanation. Due to B being a weaker associated CS, the effects of extinction when paired with X were not as severe as the effects due to A. If fact, there was more responding to B in the reacquisition than there was in the original
