Controlled and automatic processes in Pavlovian-instrumental transfer
… processes that underpin human outcome-selective Pavlovian-instrumental transfer (PIT) effects. PIT reflects the capacity of a Pavlovian stimulus to selectively potentiate an instrumental response that predicts a common rewarding outcome. PIT effects are often suggested to reflect a relatively …

Neuropsychology of reinforcement processes in the rat
… striatum in the control of rats’ behaviour by Pavlovian conditioned stimuli, and in their capacity to choose delayed reinforcement. First, the function of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in simple Pavlovian conditioning tasks was addressed. The ACC is a subdivision of prefrontal cortex that …

Individual differences in cocaine's locomotor activating effects predicts reward-directed behavior
… is sensitivity to reward-paired cues. Pavlovian-instrumental transfer (PIT) is a paradigm that assesses the extent to which reward cues can initiate previously unpaired instrumental responding for a common reward. To examine the potential that sensitivity to reward-paired cues is a …

The Influence of an Appetitive Conditioned Stimulus on Interval Timing Behavior
<p>Pavlovian incentive motivation provides a theoretical framework on the basis of which experiments can be designed to examine the effects of motivational variables on timing behavior. The Pavlovian-Instrumental transfer (PIT) paradigm is a prototype for studying Pavlovian incentive motivation. …

How Learning and Motivational Shifts Determine the Incentive Salience of Reward Cues: a Human Behavioral Perspective
… the performance of a separately learned instrumental action exerted to obtain an outcome, a phenomenon known as Pavlovian-Instrumental transfer (PIT). Since the motivational value of reward is altered when reward is devalued, an interesting question is whether the incentive properties of …

Investigating Maladaptive Habit Formation and Threat Influences in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
… can be captured using a procedure called Pavlovian-Instrumental Transfer (PIT). PIT refers to the influence of previously learned pavlovian stimuli on instrumental action and is commonly used to assess the motivational influences of reward-related cues on behaviour. The current state of …
