Journal ArticleDOI
Rule Learning by Rats
TL;DR: It is reported that Rattus norvegicus can learn simple rules and apply them to new situations and, like humans, can transfer structural knowledge from sequential experiences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic comparison of the effects of hippocampal and fornix-fimbria lesions on acquisition of three configural discriminations.
Robert J. McDonald,Robin A. Murphy,Fay A. Guarraci,Judy R. Gortler,Norman M. White,Andrew G. Baker +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that several task parameters determine the involvement of the hippocampus in configural learning; however, all tasks tested can also be learned to some extent in the absence of an intact hippocampal system, presumably by other learning/memory systems that remain intact following surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depressive realism and outcome density bias in contingency judgments: the effect of the context and intertrial interval.
TL;DR: In two experiments, the authors tested the DR hypothesis using an action-outcome contingency judgment task, suggesting that depressed mood is accompanied by reduced contextual processing rather than increased judgment accuracy, and is consistent with a cognitive distortion view of depression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereotype formation: Biased by association
Mike E. Le Pelley,Stian Reimers,Guglielmo Calvini,Russell Spears,Tom Beesley,Robin A. Murphy +5 more
TL;DR: Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrate that differences in the experienced predictiveness of groups with respect to evaluatively neutral information influence the extent to which participants later form attitudes and stereotypes about those groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depressive realism and the effect of intertrial interval on judgements of zero, positive, and negative contingencies
TL;DR: It is proposed that a context-processing difference between depressed and nondepressed people removes any objective notion of “realism” that was originally employed to explain the depressive realism effect.
