Classical Conditioning: Classical Yet Modern [PDF]
Psychologica Belgica, 2018 This manuscript is part of a special issue to commemorate professor Paul Eelen, who passed away on August 21, 2016. Paul was a clinically oriented scientist, for whom learning principles (Pavlovian or operant) were more than salivary responses and lever ...

Classical conditioning of faciliatory paired-pulse TMS [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 In this proof-of-concept study, we questioned whether the influence of TMS on cortical excitability can be applied to classical conditioning. More specifically, we investigated whether the faciliatory influence of paired-pulse TMS on the excitability of ...

Nocebo Effects on Cowhage-evoked Itch: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Classical Conditioning and Observational Learning [PDF]
Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 2021 To investigate learning processes underlying nocebo effects on itch, this study measured the efficacy of classical conditioning and observational learning for inducing nocebo effects on cowhage-evoked itch and scratching behaviour.

Classical Conditioning as a Distinct Mechanism of Placebo Effects [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2019 Classical conditioning was suggested as a mechanism of placebo effects in the 1950s. It was then challenged by response expectancy theory, which proposed that classical conditioning is just one of the means by which expectancies are acquired and changed.

Modulating pain thresholds through classical conditioning [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Classical conditioning has frequently been shown to be capable of evoking fear of pain and avoidance behavior in the context of chronic pain. However, whether pain itself can be conditioned has rarely been investigated and remains a matter of ...

Development of a Classical Conditioning Task for Humans Examining Phasic Heart Rate Responses to Signaled Appetitive Stimuli: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 Cardiac responses to appetitive stimuli have been studied as indices of motivational states and attentional processes, the former being associated with cardiac acceleration and latter deceleration.

Programmable responsive hydrogels inspired by classical conditioning algorithm [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Living systems inspired research on systems chemistry to mimic specific complex biological functions, but mimicking even the most elementary aspects of learning is a grand challenge. Here the authors demonstrate a programmable hydrogel-based model system,

Classical conditioning of Purkinje cell responses in vitro produces in vivo-like simple spike suppressions during the conditional stimulus [PDF]
Biochemistry and Biophysics ReportsAn in vitro model of classical conditioning could improve our understanding of underlying mechanisms thanks to controlled pharmacological manipulation and negligeable perturbations from external networks.
