Overshadowing and stimulus duration.

TL;DR: Equal overshadowing of conditioning to CS1 was obtained in all 3 conditions relative to a control group conditioned to the light alone, and there were, however, differences in responding to CS2 as a function of its absolute duration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blocking of subsequent and antecedent events.

TL;DR: The challenge to most associative theories that is provided by blocking of subsequent events is discussed and a preparation was used in which antecedent and subsequent events all lacked affective value during the blocking phases of the study.

Exploring the Interface: Explicit Focus-on-Form Instruction and Learned Attentional Biases in L2 Latin.

TL;DR: This article investigated the attentional processes whereby different types of focus on form (FonF) instruction assist learners in overcoming learned attention and blocking effects in their online processing of second language input.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variations in unconditioned stimulus processing in unblocking.

TL;DR: It is suggested that, in normal rats, omission of the 2nd reinforcer enhancedprocessing of the 1st reinforcer rather than processing of the conditioned stimuli and that lesions of the central nucleus eliminated this enhancement.

Signed reward prediction errors drive declarative learning.

TL;DR: Signed RPEs (SRPEs; “better-than-expected” signals) during declarative learning improved recognition in a follow-up test, with increasingly positive R PEs leading to better recognition.
