Behavior Theory and Invertebrate Learning

TL;DR: In the field of animal learning, a particular theory of learning is judged by how well it deals with the necessary and sufficient conditions for learning to occur, the nature of what is learned, and the ways in which learning influences performance as discussed by the authors.

An introduction to the philosophy of psychology

Competition among spatial cues in a naturalistic food-carrying task.

TL;DR: Rats collected nuts from a container in a large arena in four experiments testing how learning about a beacon or cue at a goal interacts with learning about other spatial cues (place learning).

Preexposure effects in spatial learning: from gestaltic to associative and attentional cognitive maps

TL;DR: Reviewing the literature examining how preexposure to environmental cues affects subsequent spatial learning reveals that there is no need to advocate for gestaltic processes since standard associative learning theory provides an adequate framework for accounting for navigation skills.
Journal ArticleDOI

An associative analysis of object memory

TL;DR: A theory of associative learning, SOP, is outlined which can offer an explanation of performance on all three types of task and the implications of this for theoretical interpretations of recognition memory are discussed.
