Abstract
In both within- and between- Ss designs, the ready signal was shown to increase the frequency of short-latency eyelid responses, most of which are below the latency usually regarded as defining a CR. Since the occurrence of a short latency response sharply reduces the probability of a longer latency response, fewer responses are scored as CRs when a ready signal is used. These factors appear to explain the decrement obtained with a ready signal in eyelid conditioning.
