Hereditary determinants of fears and phobias: A critical review

TL;DR: The main conclusion was that, although the learning-conditioning approach is inadequate, no body of research conclusively supports the evolutionary hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A structural model of intrinsic motivation: On the psychology of means-ends fusion

TL;DR: This work conceptualizes intrinsic motivation (IM) as (perceived) means-ends fusion and defines an intrinsicality continuum reflecting the degree to which such fusion is experienced, as well as identifying two major consequences of the activity-goal fusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens core signals perceived saliency.

TL;DR: This paper provided an extended, comprehensive framework for accumbal dopamine release in behavioral control and showed that dopamine release not only conforms to reward prediction error (RPE) predictions in a subset of learning scenarios but fits valence-independent perceived saliency encoding across conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A computational model of how cholinergic interneurons protect striatal-dependent learning

TL;DR: A neurobiologically detailed theory of how such learning is mediated by cholinergic interneurons in the striatum is proposed and tested and accounts for a variety of single-cell recording data and some classic behavioral phenomena, including fast reacquisition after extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of blocking and compensatory conditioning in the treatment preexposure effect.

TL;DR: Results of the final experiment suggested that enhanced drinking may have occurred because stimuli that characterized the environment in which preexposures were administered suppressed the action of the pituitary-adrenal system.
