{"pk":30474,"title":"Simultaneous Configural Classical Conditioning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Humans and animals have the ability to learn complicated configurations of environmental\ncues that are predictive of important events. In cljissical conditioning, this task\nis called configural conditioning. Psychologists have studied this phenomenon since\nPavlov's time, yet several of the contemporary learning models provide only partially\nsatisfactory explanations. Most models provide mechanisms which select among possible\npredictive stimuli, but they fail to explicitly identify predictive combinations of stimuli and are thus restricted to learning only a relatively simple set of possible associations. In this paper we discuss a learning method which accounts for some configural\nconditioning results. Using an implemented system, we demonstrate the effectiveness\nof this method by modeling configural conditioning data from a pair of representative\nexperimental studies.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Presented Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/002739k5","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jeffrey","middle_name":"C.","last_name":"Schlimmer","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Irvine","department":""},{"first_name":"Richard","middle_name":"H.","last_name":"Granger","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Irvine","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1986-01-01T21:00:00+03:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30474/galley/20323/download/"}]}
