The results of Kamin's blocking experiment were surprising because they seemed to contradict the well-established principle of frequency.
According to Kamin's Blocking effect, conditioning to a stimulus could be prevented if it was reinforced alongside a stimulus that had already been subjected to conditioning. For instance, conditioned stimulus 1 (CS1), which foretells the appearance of a reinforcer, is presented to an animal.
The idea is that more stimulation results in more frequent and powerful nerve impulses as well as a stronger response from the organism.
Kamin showed that the learning that happens while moving from single component conditioning to component A and conditioning to the AB compound did not reflect in the median suppression ratios to component B. During the compound conditioning phase, a savings test revealed that B had received some conditioning.
