Summary
Background
The analysis of latent inhibition to be developed in this chapter had its origins in the attempt to study a (seemingly) quite different phenomenon – the acquired distinctiveness of cues. James (1890) had suggested that similar cues could be rendered more discriminable by training in which each became linked with a very different associate. The idea was taken up by Lawrence (1949) in his classic experiments with rats, and the 1950s and 1960s saw a rush of experiments (reviewed by Hall,1991) exploring the phenomenon with human subjects. A theoretical account of the effect (based on that of Sutherland & Mackintosh, 1971) was put forward by Mackintosh (1975). He proposed that the representation of any cue has a given level of associability (represented, usually, by the symbol α) but that the value of the parameter α can be changed by experience. When a cue predicts a consequence reliably (or, at least does so more reliably than other cues that might be present) its α value increases; when it predicts a consequence no better than other cues its α value declines. Initial training in which two cues are reliably followed by different consequences will enhance the α value of each of them and subsequent discrimination tasks involving these cues will be facilitated – the acquired distinctiveness effect.
Empirical evidence of the acquired distinctiveness effect came largely from studies of discrimination learning, but Mackintosh's (1975) account implies that the effect should be found in simple conditioning too.
