Table 2. Simulations of Overshadowing With Delay Procedures (No Trace) or With Trace Procedures (Short and Long Trace).
| Procedure | No Trace | Short Trace | Long Trace | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Note. Trace procedures result in less associative strength (V), but in compound training procedures more generalization (similarity) from compound BX to the elements X. Values in bold represent the predicted response. | ||||||||
