Conditioning with Artificial Grammars

Two CS categories are respectively associated with happy and angry faces. All CS are subject to evaluation and preference tests before and after conditioning. Visibility and awareness checks were run after CS-US conditioning and evaluations. All participants complete a demographic survey prior to the main experiment.
