Activation of a Temporal Memory in Purkinje Cells by the mGluR7 Receptor
Cerebellar Purkinje cells can learn to respond to a conditioned stimulus with an adaptively timed pause in firing. This response was usually ascribed to long-term depression of parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapses but has recently been shown to be ...

Learning in Cnidaria: a summary
Based on a systematic literature search, I recently reviewed learning in the phylum Cnidaria, animals possessing a nerve net as a nervous system but no centralized brain.

Retrospective revaluation as simple associative learning [PDF]
Backward blocking, unovershadowing and backward conditioned inhibition are examples of "retrospective revaluation" phenomena, that have been suggested to involve more than simple associative learning.

The propositional nature of human associative learning [PDF]
The past 50 years have seen an accumulation of evidence suggesting that associative learning depends oil high-level cognitive processes that give rise to propositional knowledge.

A Longer Interstimulus Interval Yields Better Learning in Adults and Young Adolescents
Eyeblink conditioning is one of the most popular experimental paradigms for studying the neural mechanisms underlying learning and memory. A key parameter in eyeblink conditioning is the interstimulus interval (ISI), the time between the onset of the ...

Accounting for Individual Differences in Human Associative Learning.
Associative learning has provided fundamental insights to understanding psychopathology. However, psychopathology occurs along a continuum and as such, identification of disruptions in processes of associative learning associated with aspects of ...

Associative learning and perceptual style: Are associated events perceived analytically or as a whole? \ud \ud [PDF]
The present study examined whether the formation of associations is affected by individual differences in perceptual style (analytic vs. holistic). Ninety undergraduate students were tested on their ability to associate concurrent events (i.e. word—colour)

Age-related decline in associative learning in healthy Chinese adults.
Paired associates learning (PAL) has been widely used in aging-related research, suggesting an age-related decline in associative learning. However, there are several cognitive processes (attention, spatial and recognition memory, strategy, and ...

Excessive teleological thinking is driven by aberrant associations and not by failure of reasoning
Summary: Teleological thought — the tendency to ascribe purpose to objects and events — is useful in some cases (encouraging explanation-seeking), but harmful in others (fueling delusions and conspiracy theories).

Altered development of hippocampus-dependent associative learning following early-life adversity
Little is known about how childhood adversity influences the development of learning and memory and underlying neural circuits. We examined whether violence exposure in childhood influenced hippocampus-dependent associative learning and whether ...
