Journal ArticleDOI
Information: theory, brain, and behavior.
TL;DR: This work provides an introduction to the basics of information theory and reviews some of the ways that information theory has informed the studies of Pavlovian conditioning, operant conditioning, and behavioral neuroscience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amphetamine-induced conditioned activity is insensitive to perturbations known to affect pavlovian conditioned responses in rats.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the stimulant effects responsible for the establishment of conditioned activity may not be amenable to a Pavlovian associative process.
Dissertation
Schemes for Learning and Behaviour: A New Expectancy Model
TL;DR: This thesis presents a novel form of learning by reinforcement that retains the advantages of reactivity to the environment inherent in existing reinforcement algorithms, while substantially increasing the system’s flexibili ty in responding to varying circumstances and requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Kamin blocking effect with variable-duration CSs
TL;DR: In this article, the role of temporal uncertainty surrounding the time of US occurrence in Kamin's two-stage blocking paradigm was studied and no significant attenuation of blocking was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Clarification of the Nature of Backward Excitatory Conditioning
TL;DR: The results supported the hypothesis that a proximate backward CS acquires control of a postfood focal search mode and argued against blocking as necessary to produce a difference between Groups Backward and Forward in responding to a compound forward stimulus.
