Abstract

When a stimulus is repeatedly presented in such a manner that it is not attended (i.e., it is not followed by a consequence), it subsequently becomes deficient in its ability to enter into or express new associations. This phenomenon, latent inhibition (LI), has been widely explored in animal and humans with a variety of learning tasks (for a review, see Lubow, 1989). Functionally, LI appears to protect the organism from information overload by attenuating the processing of previously irrelevant stimuli.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Several recent studies have failed to find a diminution of LI after a long acquisition-test interval. Quite the opposite, when the long retention interval was spent in a context that was different from the contexts of the other stages, a super-LI effect was obtained (for a review, see Lubow & De la Casa, 2005).
