Abstract
It is shown that whether or not the asymptotic performance of high-rate conditioners in human eyelid conditioning is affected by unconditioned stimulus intensity depends upon the conditioning context, while the acquisition performance of low-rate conditioners seems to be a function of unconditioned stimulus intensity regardless of conditioning context.
