N2 - This chapter deals with a theory to account for the latent inhibition (LI) phenomenon in particular, and other stimulus pre-exposure phenomena with special reference to such paradigms as habituation, learned helplessness, sensory preconditioning, blocking, and the feature positive effect. The theory is based on the application of conditioning principles during the stimulus pre-exposure phase of a transfer experiment conditioned attention theory. LI is a decrement in learning performance that results from repeated non-reinforced pre-exposure of the to-be-conditioned stimulus. Empirical support for these predictions is drawn from a series of experiments specifically designed to evaluate the theory and from experiments designed outside the theory's framework.
