A psychophysiological theory of reinforcement, drive, motivation, and attention
TL;DR: The theory shows how a real-time analysis of an animal's adaptive behavior in prescribed environments can disclose network principles and mechanisms which imply a restructuring and unification of data in terms of design principles and mechanism rather than the vicissitudes of experimental methodology or historical accident.

Invertebrate Learning: Current Perspectives
Christine L. Sahley,Terry Crow +1 more
TL;DR: The nematode, a simple multicellular organism consisting of approximately 1000 somatic cells, has long been used as a model system to study the genetics of nervous system development and opens new possibilities for the mechanisms that may mediate the fundamental properties of the associative process.

Spatial and semantic inhibitory processing in schizophrenia.
Luis J. Fuentes,Encarna Santiago +1 more
TL;DR: Both healthy adults and schizophrenic adults showed inhibition of return, suggesting that this inhibitory mechanism of visual orienting is preserved in schizophrenia, and semantic inhibition effects in both visual fields were assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insensitivity to stimulus validity in human Pavlovian conditioning.
TL;DR: The results were interpreted in terms of non-additive learning processes such as occasion-setting, in addition to a general lack of transfer of learning about a stimulus from one context to another (element to compound or vice versa).
Journal ArticleDOI
An instance theory of associative learning
TL;DR: It is argued that associative learning is consistent with an instance-based approach to learning and memory and predicts a number of associativelearning phenomena.
