三个实验表明，保存程序是一种有效和敏感的替代感觉预适应程序的方法，可以用来衡量中性刺激之间的联系(在大鼠中)。实验一表明，在强化的食欲系列复合条件作用下，当给予非强化的系列化合物预暴露时，化合物内联系的发展速度比单独给予元素或不给予任何预先暴露的情况下更快。实验2表明，储蓄效应具有高度的刺激性。实验3考察了同时或连续非强化预暴露于化合物元素后，连续复合条件作用的促进作用。该实验的结果与类似的感觉预适应实验结果一致。当预暴露只涉及随后增强的化合物的两种元素时，连续预暴露比同时预暴露产生更多的节省。但是，当预暴露涉及像Rescorla使用的3刺激程序时，同时预暴露可以带来更多的节省。作为中性刺激之间关联性的一种衡量标准，Savings过程相对于感觉预适应的优势也被讨论。
Three experiments showed a savings procedure to be an effective and sensitive alternative to sensory preconditioning procedures as a measure of associations among neutral stimuli [in rats]. Experiment 1 showed that within-compound associations developed more rapidly in reinforced appetitive serial compound conditioning when nonreinforced preexposure to the serial compound was given than when separate element or no preexposure was given. Experiment 2 showed the savings effect to be highly stimulus specific. Experiment 3 examined the facilitation of serial compound conditioning after either simultaneous or serial nonreinforced preexposure to the elements of the compound. The results of that experiment were consistent with those of analogous sensory preconditioning experiments. When preexposure involved only the 2 elements of the subsequently reinforced compound, serial preexposure produced more savings than simultaneous preexposure. But when preexposure involved a 3-stimulus procedure like that used by Rescorla, simultaneous preexposure resulted in more savings. Advantages of the savings procedure over sensory preconditioning as a measure of association among neutral stimuli are discussed.
