 Tavi cuts onions using the same knife and cutting board each time. And each time Tavi cuts onions (unconditioned stimulus), her eyes begin to water (unconditioned response). After repeated pairings, the sight of the cutting board and knife (previously neutral stimuli, now conditioned stimuli) without onions makes Tavi’s eyes water (conditioned response). Tavi tries using a different knife, but her eyes still water. Which term below describes why a new stimulus is not effective in conditioning when presented with a previously conditioned stimulus.

• Inhibition

• Overshadowing

• Blocking

• Excitation
