The role of species typical cues in sexual conditioning : analysis of potential adaptive specializations in learning
… used represents an ecological approach to learning investigations by employing species typical cues, and extends Pavlovian phenomenon to complex social interactions. The findings illustrate the benefits of integrating ethology and animal learning. The behavior systems approach to the study …

Serotonin and Norepinephrine in Latent Inhibition.
Current learning theorists have noted variations in the associability of stimuli independent of their correlation with reinforcement. These anomalies are thought to reveal characteristics of the processing mechanisms of animal learning. In the past, relatively gross alterations of neurochemical …

Rule -Based Evolutionary Online Learning Systems: Learning Bounds, Classification, and Prediction
Rule-based evolutionary online learning systems, often referred to as Michigan-style learning classifier systems (LCSs), were proposed nearly thirty years ago (Holland, 1976; Holland, 1977) originally calling them cognitive systems. LCSs combine the strength of reinforcement learning with the …

A role for reconsolidation in the testing effect
… Following results in the neuroscience of animal learning and human learning, the reconsolidation hypothesis assumes the act of retrieval renders the original memory for the retrieved event more malleable than a re-study opportunity. We expand on this hypothesis, proposing that this …

Learning in dynamic temporal domains using contextual prediction entropy as a guiding principle.
Temporal sequence learning facilitates the near-term prediction of future events, a skill that is essential in order for intelligent agents to function in a dynamic world. Agents acting in real-time dynamic environments must anticipate the movement of other agents/objects to avoid collisions and …
