Backward conditioning of the nictitating membrane response of rabbits was studied. The prior exposure to unconditional stimulus-conditional stimulus (US-CS) pairings retarded subsequent forward conditioning. Control procedures eliminated latent inhibition and forward safety-signal effects as accounting for the data. The relevance of this report to other recent studies of backward conditioning is discussed.
