Behavioral studies of Pavlovian conditioning.
The purpose of this review is to bring to the attention of neuroscientists some of the current thinking of psychologists who study learning processes from a behavioral perspective. The past 20 years have seen enormous changes in the ways that psychologists conceptualize and study elementary learning processes; however, many of those changes are poorly appreciated by the neuroscience community a...
متن کاملComputer-assisted behavioral assessment of Pavlovian fear conditioning in mice.
In Pavlovian fear conditioning, a conditional stimulus (CS, usually a tone) is paired with an aversive unconditional stimulus (US, usually a foot shock) in a novel context. After even a single pairing, the animal comes to exhibit a long-lasting fear to the CS and the conditioning context, which can be measured as freezing, an adaptive defense reaction in mice. Both context and tone conditioning...
متن کاملDistinguishing Rational and Behavioral Models of Momentum
One of the many challenges facing financial economists is to distinguish the theories explaining momentum. Brav and Heaton (2002) show that it is very difficult to distinguish the “rational” models of structural uncertainty (SU) from “behavioral” models of conservatism (C). In this paper, I reexamine the SU model and the C model proposed by Brav & Heaton (2002) in explaining short run momentum....
متن کاملBehavioral momentum and the law of effect.
In the metaphor of behavioral momentum, the rate of a free operant in the presence of a discriminative stimulus is analogous to the velocity of a moving body, and resistance to change measures an aspect of behavior that is analogous to its inertial mass. An extension of the metaphor suggests that preference measures an analog to the gravitational mass of that body. The independent functions rel...
متن کاملAt Least Some Determiners Aren't Determiners
One of the success stories in formal semantics is the analysis of NPs as generalized quantifiers, which can be traced back from Barwise & Cooper (1981) via Montague to Frege. The great attraction of this analysis is that it allows for a compositional analysis of the meaning of noun phrases that is consistent with independently motivated assumptions about their syntax. For example, Barwise and C...
