Abstract
⺠A conditioned inhibition procedure was used to evaluate landmark-based spatial search. ⺠We found that subjects showed no change in overall responding during AXâ training trials but did decrease pecks to the goal signaled by A. ⺠Summation tests revealed that X had a greater suppressive effect than Y on overall responding. ⺠The effectiveness of a stimulus trained as an inhibitor is dependent on the strength of the association between its training excitor (A) and the US, and the spatial proximity of stimuli during testing.
