Error discounting 1 Running head: ERROR DISCOUNTING Error Discounting in Probabilistic Category Learning
Some current theories of probabilistic categorization assume that people gradually attenuate their learning in response to unavoidable error. However, existing evidence for this error discounting is sparse and open to alternative interpretations. We report two probabilistic-categorization experiments that investigated error discounting by shifting feedback probabilities to new values after diff...
متن کاملProbabilistic category learning 1 RUNNING HEAD: Probabilistic category learning Challenging the Role of Implicit Processes in Probabilistic Category Learning
Considerable interest in the hypothesis that different cognitive tasks recruit qualitatively distinct processing systems has led to the proposal of separate explicit (declarative) and implicit (procedural) systems. A popular probabilistic category learning task known as the “Weather Prediction Task” is said to be ideally suited to examine this distinction because its two versions – ‘observation...
متن کاملDiscounting by Probabilistic Waiting
In everyday life, many probabilistic situations may be characterized as probabilistic waiting. A gambler, for example, bets repeatedly at the racetrack, the casino, or the card table. The gambler may not win on the first try, but if a gamble is repeated enough times, a win is almost certain to occur eventually. If repeated gambles are structured as strings of losses ending in a win (probabilist...
متن کاملBiases in probabilistic category learning in relation to social anxiety
Instrumental learning paradigms are rarely employed to investigate the mechanisms underlying acquired fear responses in social anxiety. Here, we adapted a probabilistic category learning paradigm to assess information processing biases as a function of the degree of social anxiety traits in a sample of healthy individuals without a diagnosis of social phobia. Participants were presented with th...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms underlying probabilistic category learning in normal aging.
Probabilistic category learning engages neural circuitry that includes the prefrontal cortex and caudate nucleus, two regions that show prominent changes with normal aging. However, the specific contributions of these brain regions are uncertain, and the effects of normal aging have not been examined previously in probabilistic category learning. In the present study, using a blood oxygenation ...
