Description

The occurrence of the co-absence of two potentially associated stimuli (D-cell events) influences contingency judgments.

We hypothesized filling the co-absence periods with irrelevant information (‘Trash’) would better clear working memory, resulting in stronger learning. We have found this not to be the case and will discuss possible reasons for this observation.
