3.2.5   The Nature of the Relation

3.2.5.1   Contingency is more important than contiguity   Just as the contingency between a CS and a US is determined by the difference between the probability of the US given the CS [p(US/CS)] and the probability of the US given the absence of the CS [p(US/~CS)], the contingency between an R and Sr is determined by the difference between the probability of the Sr given the R [p(Sr/R)] and the probability of the Sr in the absence of R [p(Sr/~R)]. In other words, operant conditioning is highly dependent on the degree to which p(Sr/R) differs from p(Sr/~R).
