Gender differences in delay-discounting under mild food restriction.

6 Jun 2009 Impulsivity, a core symptom of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is tested in animal models by delay-discounting tasks. So far, mainly male subjects have been used in this paradigm at severe levels of food restriction. Here we ... Read more...

Is Perruchet's dissociation between eyeblink conditioned responding and outcome expectancy evidence for two learning systems?

30 Mar 2009 P. Perruchet (1985b) showed a double dissociation of conditioned responses (CRs) and expectancy for an airpuff unconditioned stimulus (US) in a 50% partial reinforcement schedule in human eyeblink conditioning. In the Perruchet effect, participants ... Read more...

Stimulus competition between a discrete cue and a training context: Cue competition does not result from the division of a limited resource.

30 Mar 2009 Several associative learning theories explain cue competition as resulting from the division of a limited resource among competing cues. This leads to an assumption that behavioral control by 2 cues competing with each other should always reflect a ... Read more...
