The acquisition of the rabbit's nictitating membrane response to a tone and light compound and to its components was examined when compound presentations were reinforced at one conditioned stimulus-unconditioned stimulus (CS-US) interval and individual component presentations were reinforced at another CS-US interval. Examination of the time course of the CRs revealed that (a) despite the mixture of CS-US intervals, conditioned response (CR) timing remained accurate, that is, CRs reached their peaks at the alternative points of US delivery; (b) the momentary magnitude of the CR to the compound was predominantly an additive function of the CR magnitude to the individual components; but (c) there was modest evidence of differentiation between the compound as a unit and the individual components. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for the study of the neural substrates of temporal and sensory integration as they modulate CR acquisition.
