Biological systems engaged in “strategic” type behavior—foraging, avoiding threats, sexual
selection—tend to become “activated” or aroused. Concomitant with the observable …

A creature presented with an uncertain and diction are less well understood. Prediction, and
its apvariable environment needs to anticipate in- propriate use for action, is essentially a …

Three adaptive single-neuron models based on neural analogies of behavior modification
episodes are proposed, which attempt to bridge the gap between psychology and …

Kamin blocking in fear conditioning is thought to reflect diminished processing of the
unconditional stimulus (US) in the presence of a conditional stimulus (CS+) that was …

Publisher Summary This chapter analyzes the results of some modern classical conditioning
experiments from the perspective of a computational model based on the assumption that …

Klopf (1988) presents a formal real-time model of classical conditioning which generates a
wide range of behavioral Pavlovian phenomena. We describe a replication of his simulation …

ABSTRACT A goal common to both neurobiologists and neural network theorists is to
understand the events occurring within single elements and networks that contribute to …

To what extent are the processes of human learning analogous to the more elementary
learning processes studied in animal-conditioning experiments? This question, and the …

One of the fundamental problems in neurobiology is to understand events occurring within
individual neurons and within neural networks that contribute to learning and memory. An …

Real-time, closed-loop interactions between biological systems and their environments
appear to be fundamental to the mechanisms that underlie natural intelligence. Such a …
