LO 5.2
Which of the following is NOT a basic principle of classical
conditioning?
1.
2.
3.

5.
The CS must come before the UCS.
The CS and UCS must come very close together in
time (e.g., seconds apart).
The neutral stimulus must be paired with the UCS
several times before conditioning can take place.
The CS should be a stimulus that stands out from
other competing stimuli.
The CS and UCS should occur together in time.
