Electromyography as a recording system for eyeblink conditioning with functional magnetic resonance imaging.

This study was designed to develop a suitable method of recording eyeblink responses while conducting functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Given the complexity of this behavioral setup outside of the magnet, this study sought to adapt and ...

The cerebellum in action: a simulation and robotics study.

The control or prediction of the precise timing of events are central aspects of the many tasks assigned to the cerebellum. Despite much detailed knowledge of its physiology and anatomy, it remains unclear how the cerebellar circuitry can achieve such an ...

Stimulus-response compatibility in intensity-force relations.

Romaiguère, Hasbroucq, Possamaï, and Seal (1993) reported a new compatibility effect from a task that required responses of two different target force levels to stimuli of two different intensities. Reaction times were shorter when high and low stimulus ...

Common processes may contribute to extinction and habituation.

Psychologists routinely attribute the characteristics of conditioned behavior to complicated cognitive processes. For example, many of the characteristics of behavior undergoing extinction have been attributed to retrieval from memory. The authors argue ...

Latent inhibition in human affective learning.

This study presents the results of a new visual procedure designed to generate affective learning, namely the change in the affective rating of a previously neutral stimulus by simply pairing it with a liked or disliked stimulus. Specifically, an ...

Right-sided human prefrontal brain activation during acquisition of conditioned fear.

This H2(15)O positron emission tomography (PET) study reports on relative regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) alterations during fear conditioning in humans. In the PET scanner, subjects viewed a TV screen with either visual white noise or snake ...

Psychophysiological and subjective indicators of aversive pavlovian conditioning in generalized social phobia.

Aversive conditioning has been proposed as an important etiologic mechanism in social phobia; however, empirical evidence is scarce and has not relied on a detailed analysis of the acquisition and extinction of the conditioned emotional response.Fourteen ...

The two paradigms of persistence.

Persistence refers to the extent to which an individual pursues reinforcement that is no longer available. The most common generalization regarding persistence is the partial reinforcement extinction effect, which states that partial, rather than ...

Prestimulus effects on startle magnitude: sensory or motor?

Startle may be inhibited when the startling event is preceded by a stimulus; this is called prepulse inhibition (PPI) when the prestimulus is weak and nonstartling (s) and paired pulse inhibition when the prestimulus elicits startle (S1). The authors ...

A comparison of latent inhibition and learned irrelevance pre-exposure effects in rabbit and human eyeblink conditioning.

The learning of an association between a CS and a US can be retarded by unreinforced presentations of the CS alone (termed latent inhibition or LI) or by un-correlated presentations of the CS and US (termed learned irrelevance or LIRR). In rabbit ...
