This article presents a comprehensive survey of research concerning interactions between
associative learning and attention in humans. Four main findings are described. First …

Many experiments have shown that humans and other animals can detect contingency
between events accurately. This learning is used to make predictions and to infer causal …

The “achievement gap” has long dominated mainstream conversations about race and
education. Some scholars warn that the discourse around racial gaps perpetuates …

Search Engines (SE) have been shown to perpetuate well-known gender stereotypes
identified in psychology literature and to influence users accordingly. Similar biases were …

Prior research has suggested that attention is determined by exploiting what is known about
the most valid predictors of outcomes and exploring those stimuli that are associated with …

Two experiments used eye-tracking procedures to investigate the relationship between
attention and associative learning in human participants. These experiments found greater …

Attentional theories of associative learning and categorization propose that learning about
the predictiveness of a stimulus influences the amount of attention that is paid to that …

The present work examines whether the variability of attitude objects at attitude acquisition
increases the generalization of likes and dislikes. In particular, variability might enhance the …

Three studies show that social categorization is biased at the level of category allocation. In
all studies, participants categorized faces. In Studies 1 and 2, participants overallocated …

Cues that reliably predict an outcome in an initial phase of training (Phase 1) are learned
faster in a second phase of training (Phase 2) than cues that were unreliable in Phase 1 …
