Abstract
Cross-modal generalization was examined with an experimental design permitting an assessment of non-associative factors. It was found that relative to Ss receiving the orthodox unimodal CS in extinction, cross-modal Ss demonstrated about 60% generalization. Furthermore, cross-modal CRs were significantly greater in frequency than those given by cross-modal non-associative control Ss given unpaired CS and US presentations in acquisition.
