Two experiments determined the effect of interference training on subsequent spatial
learning in a Morris water maze. Rats first learned that a platform was located in a quadrant …

Three experiments with rats assessed the effects of introducing predictive ambiguity by
reversing a Pavlovianly trained discrimination on subsequent context and temporal …

Two experiments evaluated whether the experience of extinction facilitates subsequent
acquisition of patterning discriminations in human predictive learning. Both experiments …

Two experiments were conducted to test the effect of experiencing associative interference
on later learning. A predictive learning task was used in which human participants had to …

Retrieval of a flavor–illness association has been found to show contextual dependence
when the association is learned after a nontarget flavor–illness association has been …

Three experiments tested the effect of experiencing extinction on learning about a
differential conditioned inhibitor that was trained as an excitor. A human predictive learning …

Des recherches antérieures ont montré que la formation instrumentale peut favoriser la
formation d'associations binaires entre les représentations des éléments présents au …

The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to explore the impact of increasing prediction error on
subsequent new learning. To achieve this goal, we have carried out two human predictive …
