Corina Jimenez-Gomez; Courtney Hannula; Ashley P. Liggett; Samuel Shvarts; Christopher A. Podlesnik – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
We assessed whether novel praise statements could be used to (a) maintain and increase responses with existing reinforcement histories and (b) teach a previously untaught response among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder across two experiments. During response-stimulus pairing, two responses resulted in preferred edibles but only one…

Mateo Leganes-Fonteneau; Daniel Cseh; Theodora Duka – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Evidence for implicit aversive learning effects has been criticized for its lack of experimental rigor and statistical reliability. Here we examine whether attentional emotional responses to aversive conditioned stimuli can occur in the absence of stimulus-outcome contingency awareness, and use a novel Bayesian tool to reliably perform a post hoc…

Mitchell, Julia R.; Trettel, Sean G.; Li, Anna J.; Wasielewski, Sierra; Huckleberry, Kylie A.; Fanikos, Michaela; Golden, Emily; Laine, Mikaela A.; Shansky, Rebecca M. – Learning & Memory, 2022
Pavlovian fear conditioning is a widely used behavioral paradigm for studying associative learning in rodents. Despite early recognition that subjects may engage in a variety of both conditioned and unconditioned responses, the last several decades have seen the field narrow its focus to measure freezing as the sole indicator of conditioned fear.…

Sato, Misato; Álvarez, Beatriz; Mizunami, Makoto – Learning & Memory, 2021
The effect of repetitive training on learned behavior has been an important subject in neuroscience. In instrumental conditioning in mammals, learned action early in training is often goal-driven and controlled by outcome expectancy, but as training progresses, it becomes more habitual and insensitive to outcome devaluation. Similarly, we recently…

Romi Fajar Tanjung; Sigit Dwi Sucipto; Khadijah Lubis; Yuni Dwi Suryani; Minarsi Minarsi – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2024
Children are unique humans and experience varied development even though they are of the same gene or the same sex but grow and develop according to their respective characteristics. Of course, this condition also demands adjustments in providing appropriate and varied stimuli and responses. This study aims to observe the growth and development of…

Campese, Vinn D.; Kim, Ian T.; Kurpas, Botagoz; Branigan, Lauren; Draus, Cassandra; LeDoux, Joseph E. – Learning & Memory, 2020
While interest in active avoidance has recently been resurgent, many concerns relating to the nature of this form of learning remain unresolved. By separating stimulus and response acquisition, aversive Pavlovian-instrumental transfer can be used to measure the effect of avoidance learning on threat processing with more control than typical…

Nieto, Javier; Mason, Tere A.; Bernal-Gamboa, Rodolfo; Uengoer, Metin – Learning & Memory, 2020
In two instrumental conditioning experiments with rats, we examined the impacts of acquisition and extinction cues on ABC renewal of instrumental behavior. Animals were reinforced with food for lever pressing in one context, followed by extinction of the response in a second one. Presentations of a brief tone accompanied extinction in Experiment 1…

Zimmermann, Josua; Bach, Dominik R. – Learning & Memory, 2020
A reminder can render consolidated memory labile and susceptible to amnesic agents during a reconsolidation window. For the case of threat memory (also termed fear memory), it has been suggested that extinction training during this reconsolidation window has the same disruptive impact. This procedure could provide a powerful therapeutic principle…

Bjorni, Max; Rovero, Natalie G.; Yang, Elissa R.; Holmes, Andrew; Halladay, Lindsay R. – Learning & Memory, 2020
While results from many past studies have implicated the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) in mediating the expression of sustained negative affect, recent studies have highlighted a more complex role for BNST that includes aspects of fear learning in addition to defensive responding. As BNST is thought to encode ambiguous or…

Krypotos, Angelos-Miltiadis; Moscarello, Justin M.; Sears, Robert M.; LeDoux, Joseph E.; Galatzer-Levy, Isaac – Learning & Memory, 2018
Signaled active avoidance (SigAA) is the key experimental procedure for studying the acquisition of instrumental responses toward conditioned threat cues. Traditional analytic approaches (e.g., general linear model) often obfuscate important individual differences, although individual differences in learned responses characterize both animal and…

Voulo, Meagan E.; Parsons, Ryan G. – Learning & Memory, 2017
Fear conditioning studies in rodents allow us to assess vulnerability factors which might underlie fear-based psychopathology such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite PTSD being more prevalent in females than males, very few fear conditioning studies in rodents have tested females. Our study assessed fear conditioning and extinction…

Marshall, Andrew T.; Ostlund, Sean B. – Learning & Memory, 2018
Drug-paired cues acquire powerful motivational properties, but only lead to active drug-seeking behavior if they are potent enough to overwhelm the cognitive control processes that serve to suppress such urges. Studies using the Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT) task have shown that rats pretreated with cocaine or amphetamine exhibit…

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…
