“…Yet when the identical theory (cf., e.g., Jones, 1962) and Russian positions "surrogate'' US arrangements (e.g., Furedy, 1969) (cf., Gormezano & Tait, 1976), predict excitatory yielded apparently contrary results to the argument, conditioning, most North American "pairings" the common reaction of referees and other propoanalyses predict no conditioning, and "contin-nents of the argument was that such conditioning gency" positions (cf., e.g., Rescorla, 1967) predict "analog" situations were not, after all, "relevant" inhibitory conditioning. Finally, Prokasy and his to assessing the argument, associates have recently reopened the old but still More generally, as the more recent citations of critical Pavlovian issue of whether the biological Prokasy et al (1973) show, the earlier contrary saliency of the CS relative to the US is critical for evidence relevant to a short-interval like SSCE OR conditioning (cf., e.g., Prokasy et al, 1975). Un-effect of Furedy (1969), (critically examined) Badia fortunately, apparently accepting the methodologi-and Defran (1970), Gliner et al (1971), and the cal-confound version of the SSCE OR argument, material reviewed by O'Gorman (1973) has apparthese workers mle out the short-interval paradigm ently had negligible effects on the sti-ength of belief (where conditioning is most robust, as indicated of the scientific community in the SSCE OR arguabove) from consideration because of the "numer-ment's empirical validity.…”
