Abstract
ABSTRACT A “necessary‐gate” hypothesis is proposed regarding the relationship between awareness of the CS‐UCS relationship and autonomic classical conditioning. The hypothesis is that awareness is a necessary but not sufficient condition, and a gate but not analog condition, for human differential autonomic classical conditioning. Evidence in support of the hypothesis is reviewed and directions for future research and theory development are suggested.
