Latent inhibition and schizophrenia: Pavlovian conditioning of autonomic responses.

Latent inhibition (LI) is an important model for understanding cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. Disruption of LI is thought to result from an inability to ignore irrelevant stimuli. The study investigated LI in schizophrenic patients by using ...

Concurrent learning of temporal and spatial sequences.

In a serial reaction time task, stimulus events simultaneously defined spatial and temporal sequences. Responses were based on the spatial dimension. The temporal sequence was incidental to the task, defined by the response-to-stimulus intervals in ...

Verbal memory in left temporal lobe epilepsy: evidence for task-related localization.

We explored the hypothesis that components of verbal memory are subserved by separate temporal lobe structures in patients with temporal lobe structures in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy [correction]. Uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) measured ...

Selectively impaired associative learning in older people with cognitive decline.

Older people with declining cognitive function typically display deficits in declarative memory processes, often most evident on tests of associative learning (AL). The hippocampal formation (HF) is thought to be critically involved in the encoding and ...

Dissipation of retroactive interference in human infants.

In 3 experiments with 85 human 3-month-olds, the authors asked whether retroactive interference with their memory of the original training stimulus is temporary or permanent. Infants learned to move a mobile by kicking and then were exposed to a ...

Higher-order retrospective revaluation in human causal learning.

Previous studies demonstrated that participants will retrospectively adjust their ratings about the relation between a target cue and an outcome on the basis of information about the causal status of a competing cue that was previously paired with the ...

Protein kinase signal transduction cascades in mammalian associative conditioning.

One of the most intriguing and intensely studied questions facing contemporary neuroscientists involves the elucidation of the physiological mechanisms that underlie learning and memory. Recent advances have given us a much more detailed understanding of ...

Dissociated conditional-associative learning in anorexia nervosa.

This study assessed the acquisition of conditional-associations using neutral and individually threatening nouns in 16 females with anorexia nervosa (AN), 16 females with bulimia nervosa (BN) and 16 normal controls (NC). Groups did not differ in terms of ...

Ratings of pleasantness and intensity for beverages served in containers congruent and incongruent with expectancy.

Pleasantness and intensity ratings of beverages served in containers congruent and incongruent with expectancy were assessed. Past research has shown that the violation of food expectancies, e.g., color, taste, temperature, leads to more negative ...

Associative deficit accounts of disrupted latent inhibition and blocking in schizophrenia.

Latent inhibition (attenuated responding to a signal due to signal-alone presentations preceding the signal-outcome pairings) and blocking (attenuated responding to Signal B due to Signal A being paired with the outcome prior to pairings of an AB ...
