Signalers and Receivers in Animal Communication
TL;DR: In animal communication natural selection favors callers who vocalize to affect the behavior of listeners and listeners who acquire information from vocalizations, using this information to represent their environment.

Invertebrate learning and memory: from behavior to molecules.
Thomas J. Carew,C L Sahley +1 more
TL;DR: A variety of disciplines such as neuroethology, psychology, and modern neurobiology have merged in a concerted effort to develop invertebrate preparations in which these combined approaches can be focused on the general theme of the cellular basis of behavioral plasticity.

The Midbrain Periaqueductal Gray as a Coordinator of Action in Response to Fear and Anxiety
TL;DR: This paper describes a current psychobiological approach to motivated behavior using fear as an illustration and argues that an amygdala-periaqueductal gray system displays many of the properties of fear motivation.

The conditioning model of neurosis.
Abstract: The long-term persistence of neurotic symptoms, such as anxiety, poses difficult problems for any psychological theory. An attempt is made to revive the Watson-Mowrer conditioning theory and to avoid the many criticisms directed against it in the past. It is suggested that recent research has produced changes in learning theory that can be used to render this possible. In the first place, the doctrine of equipotentiality has been shown to be wrong, and some such concept as Seligman's “preparedness” is required, that is the notion that certain CS are biologically prepared to be more readily connected with anxiety responses than others. In the second place, the law of extinction has to be amended, and the law of incubation or enhancement added, according to which the exposure of the CS-only may, under certain specified conditions, have the effect of increasing the strength of the CR, rather than reducing it. The major conditions favouring incubation are (1) Pavlovian B conditioning, that is a type of conditioning in which the CR is a drive; (2) a strong UCS, and (3) short exposure of the CS-only.

Assessment of the Rescorla-Wagner model.
TL;DR: The Rescorla-Wagner model has had a positive influence on the study of simple associative learning by stimulating research and contributing to new model development, but this benefit should neither lead to the model being regarded as inherently "correct" nor imply that its predictions can be profitably used to assess other models.

Principles of behavior modification
TL;DR: In psychotherapy, the subject matter is the person's behavior as mentioned in this paper, which is the only class of events that can be altered through psychological procedures, and therefore it is a meaningful subject matter of psychotherapy.
