What is divided attention? How does it affect, for instance,

What is the difference between the US, the CS, and the CR? What do

What are some aspects that matter in how strong learning will be?
What are the effects of temporal relationships, prior learning, how
trials are massed or spaced, etc.? What is latent inhibition? What

List some of the conditions which should favor the evolution of
learning.
What is a selective association (prepared learning)? Why is it
special? When do we expect it to evolve? Explain the Garcia effect
and why it was a surprising result at the time. Give an additional
example from the book or from class.
Explain blocking and overshadowing? How would you construct an
experiment to study each? How does the Rescorla-Wagner model of
learning account for each?
