This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to persuade students of animal learning that cognitive theorizing is essential for an understanding of the phenomena revealed by conditioning experiments. The authors also hope to persuade the cognitive psychology community that conditioning phenomena offer such a strong empirical foundation for a rigorous brand of cognitive psychology that the study of animal learning should reclaim a more central place in the field of psychology.
Download or read book Cognitive Processes in Animal Behavior written by Stewart H. Hulse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1978, this book is a collection of chapters based on the papers read at a conference in 1976 at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The title starts with an introductory essay in which a metatheoretical and philosophical approach to the problem of cognition in animals is discussed. The succeeding chapters are arranged, topically, from basic associative processes to higher mental operations. Problems derived from models of association are discussed; as well as work on attention, memory, and the processing of stimulus information; other deal with time, spatial, and serial organization of behaviour, and concept formation.
Download or read book Processes of Animal Memory PLE Memory written by Douglas Medin and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1976, this volume contains new and original contributions of the time addressed to a related set of ideas concerning processes of memory in animals. The theme is that animals remember and that theories of animal learning must take this into account as well as the coding processes that have been assumed to be specific to human beings. The focus of the book is on processes, and some progress is reported in differentiating types of memory. The emphasis in applying animal work to studies of human memory is made not in terms of paradigms but in terms of processes implicated via performance in a variety of tasks. Also, many of the chapters reflect the usefulness of applying a memory framework to a variety of "nonmemory" paradigms. This work will be essential reading for all those interested in animal as well as human memory, and provided the most up to date and broadest examination of animal memory processes at the time, from both a theoretical and conceptual framework.

This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1991. The impetus for this book and the conference upon which it was based stemmed from the authors’ observation that the interrelated phenomena of attention and information processing were the focus of intensive theoretical analysis and empirical research in many different scientific disciplines. The goal of the conference upon which this volume is based was to bring together a distinguished group of investigators from different fields who had rarely (or never) interacted. The specific issues addressed in the present volume concern the changes that occur in attention and information processing during development, the role of selective attention and pre-attentive mechanisms in information processing, the allocation of processing resources, the physiological correlates of attention, and the role of attention-like processes in learning and memory in animals. The participants were from all over the world and represented the areas of psychophysiology, human infancy, developmental psychobiology, animal learning, autonomic regulation, and psychopathology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For ten days, a number of neuroscientists met at Reisensburg to attend a series of lectures and discussions, an Institute, on animal learning. The students were drawn from a wide variety of disciplines, including anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, physiol ogy and zoology. It is probably true to say that many of them had at best a sketchy knowledge about the learning behavior of animals, about the conditions which are necessary for learning to take place and about the theories that psychologists have constructed about the learning processes. Was the Institute of any benefit to those neuro scientists whose interests lay in studying the functioning of the nervous system by manipulating it or probing it in some direct way? Some twenty years ago the answer to this question would probably have been "No"; and there is a very good reason why this view might have been held, especially by students of the mammalian nervous system. At that time most investigators used anaesthetised animals, or animals immobilized in some other way such as by surgically isolating the brain from the spinal cord, by dividing the brain at various levels or through the use of paralyzing agents. These con ditions achieved two things. On the one hand, they allowed sub stantial advances to be made, particularly in the analysis of sensory processing and in the analysis of the neuronal mechanisms of relatively simple reflex action. On the other hand, the experi mental conditions virtually eliminated complex behavior.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical conditioning and conditioned inhibition are fundamental for cognitive processes in both animals and humans. Conditioned inhibition is involved in a wide range of normal behaviour – and its disruption could produce a wide range of behavioural deficits. For example, lack of inhibitory control has been argued to lie at the core of impulsivity (Buss & Plomin, 1975). Impulsivity is one of the core features in some of the clinical groups, such as schizophrenic patients and patients with cluster B personality disorders (PD), especially patients with PD within forensic populations (Hare et al., 1991; Munro et al., 2007). Previous research studied impulsivity by using some laboratory behaviour learning tasks (e.g. Go-NoGo tasks). People with higher impulsivity have difficulty withholding responding which is demonstrated by poor performances in these tasks. Such tasks measured participants' ability to inhibit pre-potent motor responses, and these tasks are usually thought to involve inhibition of stimulus-response (S-R) association. To date, little research has explored the inhibition of stimulus-stimulus (S-S) associations (formally 'conditioned inhibition', CI) in relation to individual differences, and no research has explicitly examined CI learning in any clinical groups. The present study developed a suitable procedure to examine human participants' conditioned inhibition in a summation test and explored CI learning performance in relation to individual differences and disorders. Two hundred and thirty-seven participants in the University of Nottingham completed a set of questionnaires [BIS/BAS, UPPS, EPQ-RS, O-LIFE (short) and STB] to assess their individual differences and a computer-based experiment to test their excitatory and conditioned inhibitory learning. The results suggested various correlations between the scores of questionnaires and the measures of excitatory and inhibitory learning, which confirmed that the higher impulsivity, neuroticism and schizotypy levels, the less evidence of the excitatory learning. At the same time, the higher anxiety, neuroticism and schizotypy levels, the less evidence of the conditioned inhibition. Twenty-five schizophrenic patients in community-based and 24 patients with PD in forensic settings were also tested using the CI learning task. The results suggested that schizophrenic patients showed a clear reduction in their excitatory and inhibitory learning performance. Moreover, schizophrenic patients with higher negative scores on PANSS, perform worse on the CI learning task. For PD patients at Rampton hospital, the CI effect was abolished in the samples. There was also a significant difference in the CI effect between patients in the PD and the DSPD units. Specifically participants in the DSPD unit showed significantly less CI. Within the clinical samples used in the present study, it was unable to demonstrate any relationship between the levels of CI and medication. Implications of these findings for personality dimensions affect learning in normal populations and clinical groups would be discussed, and further research would be suggested in this thesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1. 1 The problem and the approach The model developed here, which is actually more a collection of com ponents than a single monolithic structure, traces a path from relatively low-level neural/connectionistic structures and processes to relatively high-level animal/artificial intelligence behaviors. Incremental extension of this initial path permits increasingly sophisticated representation and processing strategies, and consequently increasingly sophisticated behavior. The initial chapters develop the basic components of the sys tem at the node and network level, with the general goal of efficient category learning and representation. The later chapters are more con cerned with the problems of assembling sequences of actions in order to achieve a given goal state. The model is referred to as connectionistic rather than neural, be cause, while the basic components are neuron-like, there is only limited commitment to physiological realism. Consequently the neuron-like ele ments are referred to as "nodes" rather than "neurons". The model is directed more at the behavioral level, and at that level, numerous con cepts from animal learning theory are directly applicable to connectionis tic modeling. An attempt to actually implement these behavioral theories in a computer simulation can be quite informative, as most are only partially specified, and the gaps may be apparent only when actual ly building a functioning system. In addition, a computer implementa tion provides an improved capability to explore the strengths and limita tions of the different approaches as well as their various interactions.
