Long-term Contingency Learning Depends on Contingency Awareness [PDF]
Journal of CognitionWe examined long-term contingency learning (CL) in a color classification task with two separate sets of non-overlapping color-word contingencies that were employed in alternating blocks of the task (“alternating blocks paradigm”).

Being in the Know: The Role of Awareness and Retrieval of Transient Stimulus-Response Bindings in Selective Contingency Learning [PDF]
Journal of Cognition, 2022 Previous studies demonstrated that contingency learning can be both (a) unaware (Schmidt et al., 2007), and (b) explained in terms of an automatic retrieval of stimulus-response bindings from the last episode in which the cue stimulus has been presented (

Disentangling semantic and response learning effects in color-word contingency learning. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 It is easier to indicate the ink color of a color-neutral noun when it is presented in the color in which it has frequently been shown before, relative to print colors in which it has been shown less often.

Punishment insensitivity in humans is due to failures in instrumental contingency learning. [PDF]
Elife, 2021 Punishment maximises the probability of our individual survival by reducing behaviours that cause us harm, and also sustains trust and fairness in groups essential for social cohesion.

Dose-dependent effects of alcohol injections on omission-contingency learning have an inverted-U pattern. [PDF]
Behav Brain Res, 2020 Previous examinations of the long-term effects of alcohol exposure on omission-contingency learning have produced mixed results across different age or sex groups, with evidence for faster learning or no effect.

Value-Based Choice, Contingency Learning, and Suicidal Behavior in Mid- and Late-Life Depression. [PDF]
Biol Psychiatry, 2019 BACKGROUND Suicidal behavior is associated with impaired decision making in contexts of uncertainty. Existing studies, however, do not definitively address whether suidice attempers have 1) impairment in learning from experience or 2) impairment in ...

Voluntary alcohol access during adolescence/early adulthood, but not during adulthood, causes faster omission contingency learning. [PDF]
Behav Brain Res, 2019 In omission contingency training, rodents learn to suppress their natural tendency to approach or touch a reward-predictive cue (termed "autoshaping" or "sign-tracking" responses) if the approach/touching responses lead to the omission of the reward ...

Contingency learning of social cues: neural engagement and emotional modulation by facial expressions [PDF]
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceContingency learning—the fundamental process by which associations are formed between events in our experience is as relevant of conditioning as it is for social interactions, where emotional cues, such as facial expressions, signal complex and ...

Contingency Learning Tracks With Stimulus-Response Proportion. [PDF]
Experimental Psychology, 2016 We investigate the processes involved in human contingency learning using the color-word contingency learning paradigm. In this task, participants respond to the print color of neutral words. Each word is frequently presented in one color.

The Neural Mechanisms of Associative Memory Revisited: fMRI Evidence from Implicit Contingency Learning [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020 The literature describes a basic neurofunctional antagonism between episodic memory encoding and retrieval with opposed patterns of neural activation and deactivation, particularly in posterior midline regions. This has been coined the encoding/retrieval
