Yamaguchi in 2006 solved for the first time a problem concerning a 1972 mathematical model of classical conditioning by Rescorla and Wagner. That derivation is not an isolated contribution. Here it is shown that the same line of derivation can be successfully applied to another experimental situation involving more stimuli.
