I know several people who wouldn't enter into a ring of stones if there were horses there(even 1 horse)....and certainly a lot more if there was an abundance of spiders. Perhaps the mere thought of something like birds, spiders or rats in an enclosed monument, would be enough for some even though none were evident.
With my experience Resonox it involved two dogs which didn't appear to be affected by anything until reaching the end of the path where the two standing stones were, unlike myself that felt uneasy soon after entering the trackway. So, taking your line of thought, my 'learned response' occured before theirs which is interesting in itself don't you think?
