Effects of ecstasy/polydrug use on memory for associative information [PDF]
, 2012 Rationale Associative learning underpins behaviours that are fundamental to the everyday functioning of the individual. Evidence pointing to learning deficits in recreational drug users merits further examination.

Aversive learning in honeybees revealed by the olfactory conditioning of the sting extension reflex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Invertebrates have contributed greatly to our understanding of associative learning because they allow learning protocols to be combined with experimental access to the nervous system.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Repeated testing during learning often improves later memory, which is often referred to as the testing effect. To clarify its boundary conditions, we examined whether the testing effect was selectively affected by covert (retrieved but not articulated ...

Coordinated activity of ventral tegmental neurons adapts to appetitive and aversive learning. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Our understanding of how value-related information is encoded in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is based mainly on the responses of individual putative dopamine neurons.

Selective disruption of stimulus-reward learning in glutamate receptor gria 1 knockout mice. [PDF]
, 2003 Glutamatergic neurotransmission via AMPA receptors has been an important focus of studies investigating neuronal plasticity. AMPA receptor glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1) subunits play a critical role in long-term potentiation (LTP).

Enactive imagery in paired-associate learning [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 1974 Three experiments were conducted to study the effects of enactive imagery (EI) on associative learning. In Experiment I, groups of Ss rated 226 verbs on EI and frequency. In Experiments II and III, Ss learned a 24- and a 16-item list, respectively. The lists consisted of the four possible stimulus-response combinations of high (H) and low (L) EI verb ...

NeuroImage, 2023 Individuals exhibit considerable variability in their capacity to learn and retain new information, including novel vocabulary. Prior research has established the importance of vigilance and electroencephalogram (EEG) alpha rhythm in the learning process.

Vocabulary is important for some, but not all reading skills [PDF]
, 2007 Although there is evidence for a close link between the development of oral vocabulary and reading comprehension, less clear is whether oral vocabulary skills relate to the development of word-level reading skills.

Prior Knowledge Norms for Naming Country Outlines: An Open Stimulus Set
Journal of Cognition, 2023 Paired-associate stimuli are an important tool in learning and memory research. In cognitive psychology, many studies use materials of which the learners are expected to have little to no prior knowledge. Despite their theoretical usefulness, conclusions
