The effect of morphine preexposure on the acquisition of morphine-induced taste aversions: A nonassociative effect

TL;DR: Results with a dose of morphine that does not produce any behavioral effects, which in turn could potentially mask associative conditioning during preexposure, confirm that the attenuating effects of morphine preex exposure on taste aversion learning are nonassociative.

Disrupting the conditioned stimulus preexposure effect in flavor-aversion learning: effects of interoceptive distractor manipulations.

TL;DR: A series of four experiments investigated the ability of the conditioned stimulus (CS) preexposure effect to be disrupted by the introduction of a distractor flavor stimulus between the preex exposure and conditioning episodes and found that a novel distractor was more effective than a familiar distractor, even though both stimuli were sensorily equivalent.

Sequential causal learning in humans and rats

TL;DR: A new Bayesian theory of sequential causal learning is proposed that assumes that humans and rats have available two alternative generative models for causal learning with continuous outcome variables and predicts how the form of the pretraining determines which model is selected.

Blocking in eyelid conditioning: Effect of changing the CS-US interval and introducing an intertriai stimulus

TL;DR: In this paper, a change in the CS-US interval from Stage 1 to Stage 2 did not attenuate the blocking effect in terms of US surprisingness, and the second resuit is inconsistent with a prediction based on the Rescorla-Wagner model.

Anticipation of delayed action-effects: learning when an effect occurs, without knowing what this effect will be.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the associative structure of action-effect learning with delayed effects and asked whether participants acquire integrated action-time-effect episodes that comprise a compound of all three elements or whether they acquire separate traces that connect actions to the time until an effect occurs.
