Abstract
Abstract
Recently, we have reported that the number of trials has a larger effect on contingency judgments than the duration of trials. This has been seen for cue/outcome pairings, cue-alone, outcome-alone, and intertrial intervals (D-cell events). In the present research, we found that the impact of longer intertrial intervals increased as we increased the number of target cue-outcome dyads. This constrains our prior suggestion that training can enhance learning and retention through more but shorter trials.
