First, direct experience with new categories can lead to the acquisition of new concepts through category learning. Second, new concepts can be acquired by combining existing concepts throu ...

These eyeblinks are typically terminated between 100 and 120 ms after CS onset and are considered reflexive responses to this stimulus. Voluntary responses are another form of non-as ...

The analogy between the basal ganglia and actor – critic models builds on the strong resemblance between DA neuron activity and the TD prediction error signal, and between DA-dependent long-term synaptic plasticity in the striatum (Calabresi et al., 2000; Wickens, Begg, & Arbuthnott, 1996) and learn ...

The restricted movement manipulation (N10) was modeled after restraint–stress paradigms that are known to influence extracellular 5-HT in other regions of the brain (Bowers et al., 2007; Clement et al., 1998).

However, it remains uncertain whether or not various forms of decisionrelated activity are causally related to decision making7–9. Here we address this question by recording and reversi ...

The maximum rate of responding is located (i.e., it peaks) at the expected time of reinforcement during the signal (Catania, 1970; Roberts ...

This finding suggests that the processing or the signalling of a sensory change is more efficient when it is handled by an area that is engaged in enhanced gamma-band synchronization [6].

Because the rat is spending so much of its time crouching over the dipper cup, other behaviors that you want to reinforce will not be emitted frequently enough for you to have a chance to strengthen them through reinforcement. To avoid this problem, wait until the rat leaves the dipper cup ...

If the cell is unaffected by the second presentation, but continues to decay, then the second presentation has had no effect and cannot be coded by the neuron.

Psychophysics

Psychophysics quantitatively investigates the relationship between physical stimuli and the sensations and perceptions they affect. Psychophysics has been described as ""the scientific study of the relation between stimulus and sensation"" or, more completely, as ""the analysis of perceptual processes by studying the effect on a subject's experience or behaviour of systematically varying the properties of a stimulus along one or more physical dimensions"".Psychophysics also refers to a general class of methods that can be applied to study a perceptual system. Modern applications rely heavily on threshold measurement, ideal observer analysis, and signal detection theory.Psychophysics has widespread and important practical applications. For example, in the study of digital signal processing, psychophysics has informed the development of models and methods of lossy compression. These models explain why humans perceive very little loss of signal quality when audio and video signals are formatted using lossy compression.
