In delay EBC, a conditioned stimulus (CS), such as a tone, overlaps with and co-terminates with the unconditioned stimulus (US), typically a brief air puff to the cornea. Trace EBC introduces a stimulus-free interval between CS offset and US onset, engaging additional brain structures such as the hippocampus. Acquisition of conditioned responses (CRs), their timing, and resistance to extinction have all been linked to cerebellar function. While EBC is a well-established paradigm in the experimental analysis of behavior and neuroscience, human studies applying it to ADHD populations remain limited and show inconsistent findings. One potential explanation for this variability lies in procedural differences across studies, particularly in the temporal structure of conditioning trials. A key parameter in Pavlovian learning is the ratio of the inter-US interval (C; time between USs) to the CS\u2013US interval (T; time between CS onset and US onset). Known as the C\/T ratio, this value indexes the informational value of the CS in predicting the US and has been shown to influence acquisition speed and response strength. Despite its theoretical importance, the C\/T ratio is rarely reported or standardized in human EBC studies involving ADHD. The present review aims to characterize procedural features\u2014especially C\/T ratios\u2014used in EBC research with ADHD populations or models, with a focus on how such parameters may shape performance and interpretability in studies probing cerebellar function.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bs16010111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,13]],"date-time":"2026-01-13T18:40:09Z","timestamp":1768329609000},"page":"111","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["C\/T
