Hall-Rodriguez（G. Hall & G. Rodriguez, 2010，Associative and nonassociative processs in Latent Inventions: An elaboration of the Pearce Hall model, in R. E. Lubow & I. Weiner, Eds., Latent Inventions: Data, Theories, and applications to schizophrenia, pp. 114-136, Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press）潜在抑制理论预测当预先暴露的目标刺激与（a）新刺激或（b）另一个预先暴露的刺激复合时给予额外的预先暴露，并且（c）当复合物包含新的而不是另一个预先暴露的刺激时，加深会更大。一系列实验利用老鼠的恐惧调节程序研究了这些预测。在每个实验中，大鼠预先暴露于 3 种刺激，其中 1 种（A）来自一种模式（视觉或听觉），其余 2 种（X 和 Y）来自另一种模式（听觉或视觉）。然后，A 与 X 复合，Y 与取自与 A 相同模式的新刺激 (B) 复合。之前的一系列实验（H. T. Leung、A. S. Killcross 和 R. F. Westbrook, 2011, 两种预先暴露的刺激的复合物的额外暴露加深潜在抑制，实验心理学杂志：动物行为过程，第 37 卷，第 394-406 页）将 A 与Y，发现 A 比 Y 受到更潜在的抑制，与预测相反。本实验证实A比Y更受潜在抑制，表明这是由于A进入化合物比Y更受潜在抑制，最后，X和Y的比较证实了理论的3个预测。
The Hall-Rodriguez (G. Hall & G. Rodriguez, 2010, Associative and nonassociative processes in latent inhibition: An elaboration of the Pearce Hall model, in R. E. Lubow & I. Weiner, Eds., Latent inhibition: Data, theories, and applications to schizophrenia, pp. 114-136, Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press) theory of latent inhibition predicts that it will be deepened when a preexposed target stimulus is given additional preexposures in compound with (a) a novel stimulus or (b) another preexposed stimulus, and (c) that deepening will be greater when the compound contains a novel rather than another preexposed stimulus. A series of experiments studied these predictions using a fear conditioning procedure with rats. In each experiment, rats were preexposed to 3 stimuli, 1 (A) taken from 1 modality (visual or auditory) and the remaining 2 (X and Y) taken from another modality (auditory or visual). Then A was compounded with X, and Y was compounded with a novel stimulus (B) taken from the same modality as A. A previous series of experiments (H. T. Leung, A. S. Killcross, & R. F. Westbrook, 2011, Additional exposures to a compound of two preexposed stimuli deepen latent inhibition, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, Vol. 37, pp. 394-406) compared A with Y, finding that A was more latently inhibited than Y, the opposite of what was predicted. The present experiments confirmed that A was more latently inhibited than Y, showed that this was due to A entering the compound more latently inhibited than Y, and finally, that a comparison of X and Y confirmed the 3 predictions made by the theory.
