Role of the Perigenual Anterior Cingulate and Orbitofrontal Cortex in Contingency Learning in the Marmoset. [PDF]
Cereb Cortex, 2016 Two learning mechanisms contribute to decision-making: goal-directed actions and the “habit” system, by which action-outcome and stimulus-response associations are formed, respectively.

Collabra: Psychology, 2019 Overshadowing and blocking are two important findings that are frequently used to constrain models of associative learning. Overshadowing is the finding that learning about a cue (referred to as X) is reduced when that cue is always accompanied by a ...

Instructing participants about the random assignment of patients to treated and non-treated conditions does not diminish causal illusions [PDF]
Royal Society Open SciencePeople sometimes perceive causal relationships between non-contingent events. When having to assess the contingency between a putative cause and an outcome, it is vital to ensure that all other causal forces are held constant whether the studied cause is

Confidence and psychosis: a neuro-computational account of contingency learning disruption by NMDA blockade. [PDF]
Mol Psychiatry, 2016 A state of pathological uncertainty about environmental regularities might represent a key step in the pathway to psychotic illness. Early psychosis can be investigated in healthy volunteers under ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist.

Congruency sequence effects without feature integration or contingency learning confounds. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 The congruency effect in distracter interference (e.g., Stroop) tasks is often reduced after incongruent trials, relative to congruent trials. It has been proposed that this congruency sequence effect (CSE) results from trial-by-trial adjustments of ...

Behavioral differences between infants at and not at elevated risk for autism during a contingency paradigm. [PDF]
PLoS ONEIntroductionMotor impairments have been reported in infants at elevated likelihood of autism and those later diagnosed with autism. However, empirical studies comparing higher to lower likelihood infants are lacking, limiting our understanding of these ...

Contingency proportion systematically influences contingency learning [PDF]
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2018 In the color-word contingency learning paradigm, each word appears more often in one color (high contingency) than in the other colors (low contingency). Shortly after beginning the task, color identification responses become faster on the high-contingency trials than on the low-contingency trials-the contingency learning effect. Across five groups, we

Category learning in the color-word contingency learning paradigm [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2018 In the typical color-word contingency learning paradigm, participants respond to the print color of words where each word is presented most often in one color. Learning is indicated by faster and more accurate responses when a word is presented in its usual color, relative to another color.

Learning Habits: Does Overtraining Lead to Resistance to New Learning?
Collabra: Psychology, 2020 We explore the development of habitual responding within the colour-word contingency learning paradigm, in which participants respond to the colour of neutral words. Each word is most often presented in one colour.
