Neurobiological research on learning assumes that temporal contiguity is essential for
association formation, but what constitutes temporal contiguity has never been specified. We …

We present an integrated view of interval timing and reinforcement learning (RL) in the
brain. The computational goal of RL is to maximize future rewards, and this depends …

The aim of the third edition of this book is... to provide a lucid introduction to contemporary
phenomena and theories about learning and behavior. The book strives to present a …

Memory and the Computational Brain offers a provocative argument that goes to the heart of
neuroscience, proposing that the field can and should benefit from the recent advances of …

Relations between posttraining reinforcer devaluation and Pavlovian-instrumental transfer
were examined in 2 experiments. When a single reinforcer was used, extended training of …

In a basic associative learning paradigm, learning is said to have occurred when the
conditioned stimulus evokes an anticipatory response. This learning is widely believed to …

The article reviews data from animal subjects on a range of timing tasks (including fixed-
interval and temporal differentiation schedules, stimulus timing, aversive conditioning, and …

Computational models of classical conditioning have made significant contributions to the
theoretic understanding of associative learning, yet they still struggle when the temporal …

The nature of the reward representation in Pavlovian conditioning has been of perennial
interest to students of associative learning theory. We consider the view that it consists of a …

The peak procedure was used to characterize response timing during acquisition and
maintenance of conditioned responding in goldfish. Subjects received light-shock pairings …
