The Role of Language Processing in Language Acquisition

TL;DR: It is argued that a rich body of findings that have been attributed to the grammatical development of anaphora should instead be attributed to limitations in the learner’s language processing system.

A Sketch of an Ecological Metatheory for Theories of Learning

TL;DR: A sketch of a metatheory, or conceptual framework, which serve to guide an ecological approach to the study of learning are presented, providing an understanding of learning in relation to adaptation construed in all three senses.

A time and a place for everything? Temporal processing views of hippocampal function with special reference to attention

TL;DR: It is argued, within the context of the temporal processing approach, that the hippocampus is involved in attentional processes which enable the organism to learn to ignore irrelevant stimuli.

Dissociating the effects of attention and contingency awareness on evaluative conditioning effects in the visual paradigm

TL;DR: The results of these experiments indicate that although associative EC effects may not be disrupted by a lack of contingency awareness, attention is an important factor in establishing conditioning.

Olfactory information transfer in the honeybee: compared efficiency of classical conditioning and early exposure

TL;DR: Observations show that olfactory information gained during development can modify bees' later behaviour in different contexts, and suggest that nonassociative learning phenomena, taking place at a critical period during development, might be involved in the maturation of the bees' Olfactory system, and in the organization of odour-mediated behaviours.
