Dopamine prediction errors in reward learning and addiction: from theory to neural circuitry
Midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons are proposed to signal reward prediction error (RPE), a
fundamental parameter in associative learning models. This RPE hypothesis provides a …

The theory crisis in psychology: How to move forward
MI Eronen, LF Bringmann - Perspectives on Psychological …, 2021 - journals.sagepub.com
Meehl argued in 1978 that theories in psychology come and go, with little cumulative
progress. We believe that this assessment still holds, as also evidenced by increasingly …

[HTML][HTML] The ecology of human fear: survival optimization and the nervous system
We propose a Survival Optimization System (SOS) to account for the strategies that humans
and other animals use to defend against recurring and novel threats. The SOS attempts to …

From covariation to causation: A causal power theory.
PW Cheng - Psychological review, 1997 - psycnet.apa.org
Because causal relations are neither observable nor deducible, they must be induced from
observable events. The 2 dominant approaches to the psychology of causal induction—the …
