Sensory Preconditioning

Hello all. I am interested in reading an RFT account of sensory preconditioning and how it relates to the concept of transformation of function. It seems that this is a close description of transformation of function as the US-NS1 pairing results in a function alterning effect for the NS1 stimulus (becoming CS1). However,this is also true for all other stimuli (NS2, NS3, etc) in the functional frame of coordination with NS1. So, as NS1 gains discriminative control over the CR, other arbitrary stimuli(equivalent to NS1) should gain the discriminative function as well. It seems although this is respondent, that RFT can account for this effect (and process too). Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
