Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein in step (b)
i. the latent inhibition score is calculated by calculating a first average time based on the target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one non-preexposed stimulus;
calculating a second average time based on the target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one preexposed stimulus; and
calculating the latent inhibition score by (a) subtracting the second average time by the first average time or (b) subtracting the first average time by the second average time; or

ii. the latent inhibition score is calculated by
calculating a first average time based on the target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one non-preexposed stimulus;
calculating a second average time based on the target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one preexposed stimulus; and
calculating the latent inhibition score by determining whether the first average time is slower or faster than the second average time; or

iii. the latent inhibition score is calculated by
pairing the target anticipated response time based on the at least one non-preexposed stimulus with the target anticipated response time based on the at least one preexposed stimulus;
calculating whether the target anticipated response time based on the at least one non-preexposed stimulus of the pairing was faster relative to the target anticipated response time based on the at least one preexposed stimulus of the pairing; and
calculating the latent inhibition score by determining (a) the total number of pairings that were higher for the target anticipated response time based on the non-preexposed stimulus relative to the target anticipated response time based on the preexposed stimulus, (b) the total number of pairings that were lower for the target anticipated response time based on the non-preexposed stimulus relative to the target anticipated response time based on the preexposed stimulus, or (c) both (a) and (b); or

iv. the latent inhibition score is calculated by
calculating a first average number of anticipatory responses based on the target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one non-preexposed stimulus;
calculating a second average number of anticipatory responses based on target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one preexposed stimulus; and
calculating the latent inhibition score by (a) subtracting the second average number of anticipatory responses by the first average number of anticipatory responses or (b) subtracting the first average number of anticipatory responses by the second average number of anticipatory responses; or

v. the latent inhibition score is calculated by
calculating a first average number of anticipatory responses based on the target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one non-preexposed stimulus;
calculating a second average number of anticipatory responses based on the target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one preexposed stimulus; and
calculating the latent inhibition score by determining whether the first average number of anticipatory responses is lower or higher than the second average number of anticipatory responses; or

vi. the latent inhibition score is calculated by
pairing the target anticipated response based on the at least one non-preexposed stimulus with the target anticipated response based on the at least one preexposed stimulus;
calculating whether the target anticipated response based on the at least one non-preexposed stimulus of the pairing was faster relative to the target anticipated response based on the at least one preexposed stimulus of the pairing; and
calculating the latent inhibition score by determining (a) the total number of pairings that were higher for the target anticipated response based on the non-preexposed stimulus relative to the target anticipated response based on the preexposed stimulus, (b) the total number of pairings that were lower for the target anticipated response based on the non-preexposed stimulus relative to the target anticipated response based on the preexposed stimulus, or (c) both (a) and (b); or

vii. the latent inhibition score is calculated by
calculating a first percent of anticipatory responses based on the target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one non-preexposed stimulus;
calculating a second percent of anticipatory responses based on the target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one preexposed stimulus; and
calculating the latent inhibition score by (a) subtracting the second percent of anticipatory responses by the first percent of anticipatory responses; or (b) subtracting the first percent of anticipatory responses by the second percent of anticipatory responses; or

viii. the latent inhibition score is calculated by
calculating a first d′ score of anticipatory responses based on the target anticipated response measured for each presentation of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one non-preexposed stimulus;
calculating a second d′ score of anticipatory responses based on the target anticipated response measured for each of the target stimulus presented after presentation of the at least one preexposed stimulus; and
calculating the latent inhibition score by subtracting the second d′ score of anticipatory responses by the first d′ score of anticipatory responses.
