Spatial Learning: Conditions and Basic Effects

TL;DR: The blocking, unblocking and overshadowing experiments show that to exclude associative learning as a basic mechanism responsible for spatial learning is quite inappropriate and seems inconsistent with O’Keefe and Nadel’s account of true spatial learning or locale learning.

Temporal-difference prediction errors and Pavlovian fear conditioning: role of NMDA and opioid receptors.

TL;DR: A role for TD prediction errors in fear conditioning is supported and it is suggested that NMDA receptors contribute to fear learning by acting on the product of predictive error, whereas opioids contribute to predictive error.

Stimulus generalization in two associative learning processes.

TL;DR: Three experiments show that current models of human associative learning, which try to model both nonlinear discrimination and cue interaction as the result of 1 process, fail because they cannot simultaneously account for narrow and broad generalization.

Attention within auditory word perception: insights from the phonemic restoration illusion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the presence or absence of an attentional cue, contained in a visual prime preceding each trial, was varied between groups of subjects, and subjects performed identically to those subjects for whom the prime contained no information at all about the test word.
