Cortical Contributions to Higher-Order Conditioning: A Review of Retrosplenial Cortex Function

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
In higher-order conditioning paradigms, such as sensory preconditioning or second-order conditioning, discrete (e.g., phasic) or contextual (e.g., static) stimuli can gain the ability to elicit learned responses despite never being directly paired with ...

How common is a common error term? The rules that govern associative learning in sensory preconditioning and second-order conditioning

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
In standard (first-order) Pavlovian conditioning protocols, pairings of an initially neutral conditioned stimulus (CS) and a biologically significant unconditioned stimulus (US) result in the formation of a CS-US association.

Higher-order unimodal olfactory sensory preconditioning in Drosophila

eLife, 2022
Learning and memory storage is a complex process that has proven challenging to tackle. It is likely that, in nature, the instructive value of reinforcing experiences is acquired rather than innate.

Neural Substrates of Incidental Associations and Mediated Learning: The Role of Cannabinoid Receptors

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
The ability to form associations between different stimuli in the environment to guide adaptive behavior is a central element of learning processes, from perceptual learning in humans to Pavlovian conditioning in animals.

Understanding Associative Learning Through Higher-Order Conditioning

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
Associative learning is often considered to require the physical presence of stimuli in the environment in order for them to be linked. This, however, is not a necessary condition for learning.

Manipulating Memory Associations Changes Decision-making Preferences in a Preconditioning Task [PDF]

, 2019
Memories of past experiences can guide our decisions. Thus, if memories are undermined or distorted, decision making should be affected. Nevertheless, little empirical research has been done to examine the role of memory in reinforcement decision-making .

Dopamine D1 and D2 Receptors Are Important for Learning About Neutral-Valence Relationships in Sensory Preconditioning

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
Dopamine neurotransmission has been ascribed multiple functions with respect to both motivational and associative processes in reward-based learning, though these have proven difficult to tease apart.

Responding to preconditioned cues is devaluation sensitive and requires orbitofrontal cortex during cue-cue learning

eLife, 2020
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is necessary for inferring value in tests of model-based reasoning, including in sensory preconditioning. This involvement could be accounted for by representation of value or by representation of broader associative ...

Manipulating Memory Associations Minimizes Avoidance Behavior

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
Memories of the past can guide humans to avoid harm. The logical consequence of this is if memories are changed, avoidance behavior should be affected.
