The wider context of selection by consequences
TL;DR: For example, the human behavior is the joint product of (i) contingency of survival responsible for natural selection, and (ii) contingencies of reinforcement responsible for the repertoires of individuals, including (iii) the special contingencies maintained by an evolved social environment as discussed by the authors.

Blocking effects in non-conditioned goal-directed behaviour.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that contradicting current theories, blocking seems to be a general mechanism which also applies to non-conditioned goal-directed behaviour, and the complexity of response selection processes associated with medial frontal cortical activity is altered by blocking.

Cue competition effects in human causal learning
TL;DR: Five experiments involving human causal learning were conducted to compare the cue competition effects known as blocking and unovershadowing, in proactive and retroactive instantiations, in response to amenable associative and inferential processing possibilities.

An animal analogue to systematic desensitization and elimination of avoidance
TL;DR: It was suggested that the present analogue SD technique impaired S 's reception of (exposure to) the warning signal during treatment, and was significantly less effective than GH and Ext, when avoidance was tested in extinction.
