Evolution of an elemental theory of Pavlovian conditioning.

Aug 2008 Kenneth Spence (1936, 1937) formalized a quantitative, elemental approach to association theory that has had a broad and dominating influence on learning theory for many years. A set of challenges to the basic approach... Read more...

Cognitive versus stimulus-response theories of learning.

Aug 2008 In his 1948 address to the Division of Theoretical-Experimental Psychology of the American Psychological Association, Kenneth W. Spence discussed six distinctions between cognitive and stimulus-response (S-R) theories... Read more...

Amphetamine exposure enhances accumbal responses to reward-predictive stimuli in a pavlovian conditioned approach task.

23 Jul 2008 Acute and repeated exposure to psychostimulants such as amphetamine enhances the effects of pavlovian conditioned stimuli on conditioned behavior. It is hypothesized that amphetamine facilitates conditioned stimulus... Read more...
