Zieger, Laura Raffaella; Jerrim, J.; Anders, J.; Shure, N. – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2022
The OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has become one of the key studies for evidence-based education policymaking across the globe. PISA has however received a lot of methodological criticism, including how the test scores are created. The aim of this paper is to investigate the so-called 'conditioning model', where…

Flores, Veronica L.; Moran, Anan; Bernstein, Max; Katz, Donald B. – Learning & Memory, 2016
Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) is an intensively studied single-trial learning paradigm whereby animals are trained to avoid a taste that has been paired with malaise. Many factors influence the strength of aversion learning; prominently studied among these is taste novelty--the fact that preexposure to the taste conditioned stimulus (CS)…

Moore, James W.; Russo, Kayla; Gilfeather, Angelina; Whipple, Heather M.; Stanford, Greg – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2018
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often emit errors during the establishment of conditional discriminations. These children may not respond to more traditional error-correction procedures, such as least-to-most prompting. In this study, we compared two other types of error-correction procedures, namely embedding an identity-matching…

Dass, Tina K.; Kisamore, April N.; Vladescu, Jason C.; Reeve, Kenneth F.; Reeve, Sharon A.; Taylor-Santa, Catherine – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Research on tact acquisition by children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has often focused on teaching participants to tact visual stimuli. It is important to evaluate procedures for teaching tacts of nonvisual stimuli (e.g., olfactory, tactile). The purpose of the current study was to extend the literature on secondary target instruction and…

Cho, Jin-Hyung; Rendall, Sam D.; Gray, Jesse M. – Learning & Memory, 2017
"Fos" induction during learning labels neuronal ensembles in the hippocampus that encode a specific physical environment, revealing a memory trace. In the cortex and other regions, the extent to which "Fos" induction during learning reveals specific sensory representations is unknown. Here we generate high-quality brain-wide…

Criado-Marrero, Marangelie; Morales Silva, Roberto J.; Velazquez, Bethzaly; Hernández, Anixa; Colon, María; Cruz, Emmanuel; Soler-Cedeño, Omar; Porter, James T. – Learning & Memory, 2017
The factors influencing resiliency to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remain to be elucidated. Clinical studies associate PTSD with polymorphisms of the FK506 binding protein 5 (FKBP5). However, it is unclear whether changes in FKBP5 expression alone could produce resiliency or susceptibility to PTSD-like symptoms. In this…

Stauch, Tiffany; LaLonde, Kate; Plavnick, Joshua B.; Savana Bak, M. Y.; Gatewood, Kenzie – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2017
Teaching complex intraverbal responding to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be challenging and often requires careful programming. Divergent and convergent multiple control are particularly important elements to incorporate into intraverbal training programs, as well as procedures to ensure responding is under control of both…

Nelson, James Byron; Craddock, Paul; Molet, Mikael; Renaux, Charlotte – Learning & Memory, 2017
One experiment determined the relationship between renewed associative strength and attention. Following cue1-outcome pairings in Context A, cue1 was extinguished in Context B while cue2 was conditioned. On test cue2 was chosen as a predictor of the outcome in Context B. Both cues were chosen equally often as predictors in Context A. Consistent…

Nieto, Javier; Uengoer, Metin; Bernal-Gamboa, Rodolfo – Learning & Memory, 2017
One experiment with rats explored whether an extinction-cue prevents the recovery of extinguished lever-pressing responses. Initially, rats were trained to perform one instrumental response (R1) for food in Context A, and a different instrumental response (R2) in Context B. Then, responses were extinguished each in the alternate context (R1 in…

Silva, Rafael Augusto; Debert, Paula – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2017
The go/no-go with compound stimuli is an alternative to matching-to-sample to produce conditional and emergent relations in adults. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of this procedure with two children diagnosed with autism. We trained and tested participants to respond to conditional relations among arbitrary stimuli using…

Vousden, George H.; Paulcan, Sloane; Robbins, Trevor W.; Eagle, Dawn M.; Milton, Amy L. – Learning & Memory, 2020
In obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), functional behaviors such as checking that a door is locked become dysfunctional, maladaptive, and debilitating. However, it is currently unknown how aversive and appetitive motivations interact to produce functional and dysfunctional behavior in OCD. Here we show a double dissociation in the effects of…

Hodges, Ansley C.; Betz, Alison M.; Wilder, David A.; Antia, Kristen – Education and Treatment of Children, 2019
We used a contingent acoustical feedback procedure to increase appropriate walking and decrease toe walking exhibited by a young boy with autism. After a pre-treatment screening assessment suggested that toe walking was maintained by automatic reinforcement, we paired an auditory stimulus (i.e., a clicking sound) with access to a preferred item to…

Derman, Rifka C.; Schneider, Kevin; Juarez, Shaina; Delamater, Andrew R. – Learning & Memory, 2018
When discrete localizable stimuli are used during appetitive Pavlovian conditioning, "sign-tracking" and "goal-tracking" responses emerge. Sign-tracking is observed when conditioned responding is directed toward the CS, whereas goal-tracking manifests as responding directed to the site of expected reward delivery. These…

Bergmann, Michael; Barth, Alice – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2018
Though panel data are increasingly used in the social sciences, the question whether repeatedly participating in a panel survey affects respondents' attitudes and (response) behaviour is still largely unsolved. Drawing on a model of associative networks that is extended by assumptions on survey satisficing, we present a theoretical framework that…

Fujii, Satoshi; Yamazaki, Yoshihiko; Goto, Jun-Ichi; Fujiwara, Hiroki; Mikoshiba, Katsuhiko – Learning & Memory, 2016
We investigated the role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) activated by preconditioning low-frequency afferent stimulation (LFS) in the subsequent induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) in CA1 neurons in hippocampal slices from mature guinea pigs. Induction of LTP in the field excitatory postsynaptic potential or the population…
