The role of oxytocin in delay of gratification and flexibility in non-social decision making
eLife, 2021 Oxytocin is well-known for its impact on social cognition. This specificity for the social domain, however, has been challenged by findings suggesting a domain-general allostatic function for oxytocin by promoting future-oriented and flexible behavior ...

Goats (Capra hircus) From Different Selection Lines Differ in Their Behavioural Flexibility
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Given that domestication provided animals with more stable environmental conditions, artificial selection by humans has likely affected animals' ability to learn novel contingencies and their ability to adapt to changing environments.

Separating Probability and Reversal Learning in a Novel Probabilistic Reversal Learning Task for Mice [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020 The exploration/exploitation tradeoff - pursuing a known reward vs. sampling from lesser known options in the hope of finding a better payoff - is a fundamental aspect of learning and decision making. In humans, this has been studied using multi-armed bandit tasks.

Sustained MK-801 induced deficit in a novel probabilistic reversal learning task
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Cognitive flexibility, the ability to adapt to unexpected changes, is critical for healthy environmental and social interactions, and thus to everyday functioning.

Reverse hierarchies and sensory learning [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 Revealing the relationships between perceptual representations in the brain and mechanisms of adult perceptual learning is of great importance, potentially leading to significantly improved training techniques both for improving skills in the general population and for ameliorating deficits in special populations.

No trade-off between learning speed and associative flexibility in bumblebees: a reversal learning test with multiple colonies [PDF]
, 2012 Potential trade-offs between learning speed and memory-related performance could be important factors in the evolution of learning. Here, we test whether rapid learning interferes with the acquisition of new information using a reversal learning paradigm.

Learning and motor inhibitory control in crows and domestic chickens
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Cognitive abilities allow animals to navigate through complex, fluctuating environments. In the present study, we tested the performance of a captive group of eight crows, Corvus corone and 10 domestic chickens, Gallus gallus domesticus, in the cylinder ...

Differential involvement of hippocampal calcineurin during learning and reversal learning in a Y-maze task [PDF]
, 2006 The regulation and function of the calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin (CaN, protein phosphatase 2B) in learning and memory remain unclear, although recent work indicates that CaN may play a differential role in training and reversal training.
