The doxastic shear pin: delusions as errors of learning and memory

TL;DR: It is argued that delusions form when the shear-pin breaks, permitting continued engagement with an overwhelming world, and ongoing function in the face of paralyzing difficulty.

Paradoxical aversive conditioning with ethanol.

TL;DR: In three experiments with hooded rats, paired injections of ethanol and lithium chloride produced an aversion to the taste of ethanol, yet reduced ethanol's potency as an unconditioned stimulus during subsequent taste aversion conditioning with saccharin, providing support for the associative blocking interpretation.

Taste potentiation of poisoned odor by temporal contiguity.

TL;DR: The results indicated that odor alone is an ineffective conditioned stimulus for a toxic unconditioned stimulus under conditions, and simultaneous (0-min) presentation of odor with taste potentiates the odor component so that it becomes more effective than the taste component.
