Toward a neurobiology of temporal cognition: advances and challenges

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
It is proposed that cerebellar dysfunction may induce deregulation of tonic thalamic tuning, which disrupts gating of the mnemonic temporal information generated in the basal ganglia through striato-thalamo-cortical loops.

What makes us tick? Functional and neural mechanisms of interval timing

TL;DR: It is proposed that the brain represents time in a distributed manner and tells the time by detecting the coincidental activation of different neural populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A theory of magnitude: common cortical metrics of time space and quantity

TL;DR: This work proposes here that time, space and quantity are part of a generalized magnitude system and outlines A Theory Of Magnitude (ATOM) as a conceptually new framework within which to re-interpret the cortical processing of these elements of the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine and the regulation of cognition and attention

TL;DR: DA has to be considered as a key neuroregulator which contributes to behavioral adaptation and to anticipatory processes necessary for preparing voluntary action consequent upon intention, and it can be suggested that a correlation exists between DA innervation and expression of cognitive capacities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time, rate, and conditioning.

TL;DR: The authors draw together and develop previous timing models for a broad range of conditioning phenomena to reveal their common conceptual foundations: first, conditioning depends on the learning of the temporal intervals between events and the reciprocals of these intervals, the rates of event occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neural basis of temporal processing

TL;DR: It is suggested that, given the intricate link between temporal and spatial information in most sensory and motor tasks, timing and spatial processing are intrinsic properties of neural function, and specialized timing mechanisms such as delay lines, oscillators, or a spectrum of different time constants are not required.

The Psychology of Learning and Motivation: Advances in Research and Theory

Brian H. Ross
TL;DR: The Psychology of Learning and Motivation (PLM) series as mentioned in this paper is a collection of contributions in cognitive and experimental psychology, ranging from classical and instrumental conditioning to complex learning and problem solving.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the law of effect

TL;DR: Experiments on single, multiple, and concurrent schedules of reinforcement find various correlations between the rate of responding and the rate or magnitude of reinforcement, which can be accounted for by a coherent system of equations.

The organization of learning

TL;DR: It is argued compellingly that experimental psychologists should begin to view the phenomena of learning within a framework that utilizes as the proper unit of analysis the computation and storage of a quantity, rather than the formation of an association that has been the basis of traditional learning theory.

Conditioned Reflexes: An Investigation of the Physiological Activity of the Cerebral Cortex

TL;DR: The development of the objective method in investigating the physiological activities of the cerebral hemispheres and the concept of Reflex, the most fundamental physiological characteristic of the hemisphere, is studied.
