An example the movement ratio of the
blocking effect. Notice the movement ratio at trial stage 3A shows that the new CS was not acquired.
In experimental psychology, there multiple measures of conditioned emotional response used by researchers as the measure of conditioned emotional response in a subject in classical conditioning experiments.
[edit] Movement ratio
The movement ratio is the proportion of time during the presentation of a conditioned stimulus that the subject is displaying elicited behavior. Movement ratio is defined as
MR = Tb / Tt
Where MR = Movement Ratio, Tb=Time displaying the elicited behavior and Tt = Total time of CS presentation
[edit] Suppression ratio
The suppression ratio is equal to the response rate during a CS presentation divided by the sum of response rate during the CS plus the response rate in the period immediately preceding the CS. In other terms;
SR = D / D + B.
Where SR = Suppression Ratio, D=Responding during CS and B = Responding before CS.
