Emotion and motivation: the role of the amygdala, ventral striatum, and prefrontal cortex
TL;DR: The basolateral amygdala (BLA) appears to be required for a Pavlovian conditioned stimulus to gain access to the current value of the specific unconditioned stimulus (US) that it predicts, while the central nucleus of the amygdala acts as a controller of brainstem arousal and response systems, and subserves some forms of stimulus-response Pavlovia conditioning.

ALCOVE: an exemplar-based connectionist model of category learning.
TL;DR: Alcove selectively attends to relevant stimulus dimensions, can account for a form of base-rate neglect, does not suffer catastrophic forgetting, and can exhibit 3-stage learning of high-frequency exceptions to rules, whereas such effects are not easily accounted for by models using other combinations of representation and learning method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a modern theory of adaptive networks: Expectation and prediction.
TL;DR: The adaptive element presented learns to increase its response rate in anticipation of increased stimulation, producing a conditioned response before the occurrence of the unconditioned stimulus, and is in strong agreement with the behavioral data regarding the effects of stimulus context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral/cognitive conceptualizations of post-traumatic stress disorder
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed and considered the existing cognitive and behavioral accounts for the acquisition and maintenance of post-traumatic stress disorder and adapted Mowrer's two-stage theory as applied to rape victims and Vietnam veterans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phobias and preparedness
TL;DR: An analysis of phobias using a more contemporary model of fear conditioning is proposed, and a reconstruction of the notion of symbolism is suggested.
