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…

Revillo, Damian A.; Trebucq, Gastón; Paglini, Maria G.; Arias, Carlos – Learning & Memory, 2016
Although it is currently accepted that the extinction effect reflects new context-dependent learning, this is not so clear during infancy, because some studies did not find recovery of the extinguished conditioned response (CR) in rodents during this ontogenetic stage. However, recent studies have shown the return of an extinguished CR in infant…

Jimenez-Gomez, Corina; Shahan, Timothy A. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2012
An extensive body of research using concurrent-chains schedules of reinforcement has shown that choice for one of two differentially valued food-associated stimuli is dependent upon the overall temporal context in which those stimuli are embedded. The present experiments examined whether the concurrent chains procedure was useful for the study of…

Bernal-Gamboa, Rodolfo; Juarez, Yectivani; Gonzalez-Martin, Gabriela; Carranza, Rodrigo; Sanchez-Carrasco, Livia; Nieto, Javier – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2012
Context renewal is identified when the conditioned response (CR) elicited by an extinguished conditioned stimulus (CS) reappears as a result of changing the contextual cues during the test. Two experiments were designed for testing contextual renewal in a conditioned taste aversion preparation. Experiment 1 assessed ABA and AAB context renewal,…

Michael, Jack; Palmer, David C.; Sundberg, Mark L. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2011
Amid the novel terms and original analyses in Skinner's "Verbal Behavior", the importance of his discussion of multiple control is easily missed, but multiple control of verbal responses is the rule rather than the exception. In this paper we summarize and illustrate Skinner's analysis of multiple control and introduce the terms "convergent…

Sansa, Joan; Artigas, Antonio A.; Prados, Jose – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2007
In five experiments using rats, we investigated compound context-flavor conditioning. The subjects were allowed to spend time in the target context, where they had access to a flavored solution (either citric acid or saccharine) before receiving an injection of LiCl. Context aversion was then assessed by using a blocking procedure. When the flavor…
