By integrating previous computational models of corticohippocampal function, the authors
develop and test a unified theory of the neural substrates of familiarity, recollection, and …

Originally published in 1991, this title was the result of a symposium held at Harvard
University. It presents some of the exciting interdisciplinary developments of the time that …

In the 65 years since its formal specification, information theory has become an established
statistical paradigm, providing powerful tools for quantifying probabilistic relationships …

Conditioning experiments probe the ways that animals make pre (cid: 173) dictions about
rewards and punishments and use those predic (cid: 173) tions to control their behavior …

Two information‐theoretic principles—maximum entropy and minimum description length—
dictate a computational model of associative learning that explains a wide range of …

Because cognitive neuroscience researchers attempt to understand the human mind by
bridging behavior and brain, they expect computational analyses to be biologically …

It has been demonstrated that short-term habituation may be caused by a decrease in
release of presynaptic neurotransmitters and long-term habituation seems to be caused by …

Imitation is a process by which individuals learn to perform a behavior pattern as a result of
observing another animal performing a similar action. Despite a century of research and a …

Present neural models of classical conditioning all suffer from the same shortcoming: local
representation of information (therefore, very precise neural prewiring is necessary). As an …

Principles of Learning and Memory focuses on the most topical and central phenomena,
which are discussed from an interdisciplinary point of view in five sections: formation …
