  text: Evaluative conditioning (EC), the change in the evaluation of a neutral "conditioned"
    stimulus (CS) that is due to its pairing with a liked or disliked "unconditioned"
    stimulus (US; De Houwer, 2007), has only sometimes been found to depend on the
    CS-US contingency, that is, on the predictive relation between CS and US occurrences.
    In the research reported here, we hypothesize that this is a result of the way
    EC procedures can bias the encoding of CS-US contingencies and therefore bias
    contingency learning. This may have prevented previous investigations from detecting
    contingency effects despite EC being sensitive to the encoding of CS-US contingencies.
    In support of this hypothesis, we show that measured (Experiments 1 a and 1 b)
    and manipulated (Experiment 2) differences in contingency learning predict the
    effect of CS-US contingency on EC. Implications for the underlying processes of
    EC are discussed.
