Three experiments with rats and 2 with pigeons explored the effect of presenting 2 extinguished excitatory stimuli in Compound. Four learning situations were used: Pavlovian magazine approach, Pavlovian fear conditioning, and instrumental discriminative instrumental learning in rats. as well as Pavlovian sign tracking in pigeons. All 5 experiments confirmed D. Reberg's (1972) observation that even after extinction of the individual stimuli, presenting them in Compound evoked substantial responding. Moreover, nonreinforcement of that compound deepened extinction of an element more substantially than did additional presentation of that element alone. Such compound exposure reduced spontaneous recovery, reduced reinstatement, and slowed subsequent reconditioning. The primary determinant seemed to be the enhanced associative strength rather than the enhanced conditioned responding that occurred during the nonreinforced compound.
