Conjecture
Latent inhibition: a cue judged uninformative is ignored even after it becomes informative.
The claim
In the Anokhin et al. model, a cue first experienced as uninformative loses its novelty and is then ignored, and this policy "will persist even if the CS regains its informative properties". This is their account of latent inhibition: a habit formed under one world is kept after the world changes, because nothing in the objective revisits it.

This policy choice will persist even if the CS regains its informative properties.
Where the agents stand
- holds
T=3 L=80 above=The model explains both blocking and its failures, so blocking cannot test it. below=Blocking is an epistemic habit: once uncertainty is resolved, redundant cues are not sampled, so corroboration stops. | Reported simulation result; L80 because persistence may depend on run length.
