Associative Processes in Statistical Learning: Paradoxical Predictions of the Past
… could be suggestive of a ubiquitous underlying associative mechanism, which universally gives rise to graded contiguity effects, regardless of the specifc application (Howard, Jing, Rao, Provyn, & Datey, 2009). The following experiment employed a probabilistic SRT task to quantify sensitivity to …

Relationships in Aging, Cognitive Processes, and Contingency Learning
… of age, processing speed, working memory,and associative processes on the acquisition of contingency information. Young and older adults completed positive (+.65) and negative (-.65) contingency tasks that measured their ability to discover the relationship between a symptom (e.g., FEVER) and …

Aging and Associative and Inductive Reasoning Processes in Discrimination Learning
The purpose of this study was to investigate how associative and inductive reasoning processes develop over trials in feature positive (FP) and feature negative (FN) discrimination learning. Younger and older adults completed initial and transfer tasks with either consistent or inconsistent …

Serotonin and Norepinephrine in Latent Inhibition.
… and serotonin have been demonstrated to alter associative processes in the rat. This study investigated the effect of selective depletions of norepinephrine and serotonin on the formation of inhibitory associations. It was found that serotonin and norepinephrine depletions differentially …

Klassische Konditionierung posturaler Reaktionen beim Menschen, unter Einbeziehung der Kleinhirnfunktion
… on different strategies. For the strategy I an associative process for strategy II a primarily non-associative process was assumed. Nowadays the cerebellum is accepted to be substantially involved in associative and non-associative processes. A patient, suffering from an almost unilateral …

The Effects of Aging on Associative Learning and Memory Retrieval in Causal Judgment
… and judging causal relationships requires associative learning and memory. Retrospective revaluation of causal cues requires associative memory (Aitken, Larkin, & Dickinson, 2001) to bind multiple cues together and use these associations to retrieve unseen cues for revaluation of their …

The Role Of Imagery And Abstraction In Proverb Comprehension: A Dual-coding Analysis Of Figurative Language
… language predicted differences in interpretation processes for concrete and abstract proverbs. Study 2 showed, in support, that rated comprehension ease and verbal interpretation ease were more highly correlated for abstract proverbs ("Punishment is lame but it comes") than for concrete proverbs …

Evidence for dissociable learning processes from the SRT task
… model learning using dissociable rule-based and associative processes. Such an account would predict that people should be able to learn the same sequences qualitatively differently under hypothesis-testing and incidental conditions. The aim of this research was to test this prediction in a two …

Peak Shift in Pigeon and Human Categorisation
… peak shift. These results indicate that similar associative processes may underlie categorisation in both humans and non-humans, although higher-level ‘symbolic’ processes may control human performance in laboratory studies.
