Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt asks us to complete a description of a highlight procedure and to evaluate each provided option.
Option 1: '...the subject tends to make the response which leads to reward Y indicating that cue D has been highlighted by cue A's previous association with response X.' This matches the pattern of highlighting where the earlier association (A with X) biases the subject toward the response leading to reward Y when D is present, showing that cue D has gained salience through A's prior link to X. This aligns with theories of Pavlovian or operant conditioning where compound cues can propagate associative strength to related cues, guiding the choice toward the reward associated with the later phase.
Option 2: '...the subject tends to be distracted by highlighted information and chooses response Y because it is more salient' While salience can influence attention, the described procedure is about learned associations driving response selection toward reward Y through D’s interaction with A, not a general distraction or salience effect. This answer misses the specific mechanism of cue A’s prior association transferring to D and leading to Y, so it is conceptually inaccurate for this setup.
Option 3: 'bees waggle to highlight which direction the food source is' This option introduces a completely unrelated behavior (bees waggle dance) that has no bearing on the described human or animal highlight procedure, making it irrelevant and incorrect in context.
Option 4: '...the subject chooses response D because A is highlighted by the previous association with B.' Here the direction of the association is inverted: the wording suggests A is highlighted due to B, which contradicts the given sequence where A’s initial association with X influences responses involving D and Y. This reverses the causal chain and does not fit the described phase relationships, rendering it incorrect.
