采用复合刺激（AX）和其中一种成分(a)强化的同时阻断设计训练觅食蜜蜂，阻断组和对照组分别采用不强化的复合刺激（AX）和复合刺激(a)。实验1采用两种颜色的化合物；实验2使用两种气味的化合物；在实验3中，使用颜色-位置复合物，其位置根据与独特视觉地标的接近程度来定义；在实验4中，使用了一种气味定位化合物。在前三个实验中，在随后的X测试中，阻断组的反应都低于对照组；在第四个实验中，两组没有差异。结果与先前对蜜蜂进行的实验的预期一致，其中发现独立性假设适用于多模态化合物，而不适用于模态内化合物。
Foraging honeybees were trained in a concurrent blocking design with a compound stimulus (AX) reinforced and one of its components (A) either reinforced for a blocking group or nonreinforced for a control group. In Experiment 1, a compound of two colors was used; in Experiment 2, a compound of two odors was used; in Experiment 3, a color-position compound, with position defined in terms of proximity to a distinctive visual landmark, was used; and, in Experiment 4, an odor-position compound was used. In each of the first three experiments, the blocking group responded less than did the control group in a subsequent test with X; in the fourth experiment, the two groups did not differ. The results are in accord with expectations based on those of previous experiments with honeybees in which the independence assumption was found to hold for intermodal compounds but not for intramodal compounds.
