Dopaminergic system plays a key role in perception, which is an important executive
function of the brain. Modulation in dopaminergic system forms an important biochemical …

Humans naturally acquire languages that connect meanings with pronunciations. Paul M.
Pietroski presents an account of these distinctive languages as generative procedures that …

We show that simple assumptions about neural processing lead to a model of interval timing
as a temporal integration process, in which a noisy firing-rate representation of time rises …

Although a large body of research has implicated the hippocampus in the processing of
memory for temporal duration, there is an exigent degree of inconsistency across studies …

In a basic associative learning paradigm, learning is said to have occurred when the
conditioned stimulus evokes an anticipatory response. This learning is widely believed to …

Computational models of classical conditioning have made significant contributions to the
theoretic understanding of associative learning, yet they still struggle when the temporal …

Pacemaker-accumulator (PA) systems have been the most popular kind of timing model in
the half-century since their introduction by Treisman. Many alternative timing models have …

Perceptual decision making has been successfully modeled as a process of evidence
accumulation up to a threshold. In order to maximize the rewards earned for correct …

Time-based decision-making in peak-interval timing procedures involves the setting of
response thresholds for the initiation (“Start”) and termination (“Stop”) of a response …

In many species, interval timing behavior is accurate—appropriate estimated durations—
and scalar—errors vary linearly with estimated durations. Whereas accuracy has been …
