A researcher mistakenly makes the CS in his experiment slightly resemble a female quail in a study of sexual conditioning in male quail subjects.Due to this mistake,he is likely to find which of the following?


A) Conditioning proceeds more slowly because of CS pre-exposure effects.
B) Conditioning proceeds more rapidly because of increased salience.
C) Conditioning proceeds more slowly because of a lack of difference in biological strength between the CS and US.
D) There would be little effect because the US usually controls the rate of learning.
