The phrase "a learned association" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to psychology, behavior, or learning, particularly when discussing how certain stimuli become linked through experience.
Example: "Through repeated exposure to the sound of the bell, the dog developed a learned association with food, leading to salivation whenever the bell rang."
Alternatives: "an acquired connection" or "a conditioned link".
This learning seems to be independent of a learned association between the motion-direction stimuli and the task-targets or with the subjects' response.
that may have obstructed the formation of a learned association between the taste of nicotine and its delayed pharmacological effects.
To determine whether this avoidance was due to a learned association, a second experiment used a latent inhibition paradigm, familiarizing half the rats with the saccharin for 8 days prior to pairing it with overeating.
Here we show that a paradigm designed to simplify the acquisition of a learned association resulted in nicotine consumption by various strains and sexes that diverged progressively over a period of seven weeks.
The results obtained from both tasks revealed two main kinds of associations between the colour of the packaging and flavour types: (1) A learned association through a conventional pairing attributable to a specific brand, and (2) an association between a flavour and its potential packaging colour, based on the colour of the primary named ingredients.
A learned association between the tone and the electrical shock manifests as increased freezing upon hearing the tone alone.
We trained chimpanzees to identify pairs of shapes either linked by an arbitrary learned association (arbitrary associative dependency) or a shared feature (same shape, feature- based dependency), and to recognize strings where items related to either of these ways occupied the first (leftmost) and the last (rightmost) item of the stimulus.
Latent inhibition and learned irrelevance (Acquistapace et al. 2003; Hazlett 2003) are modes of learning that label neutral stimuli encountered in the absence of negative reinforcement as 'safe' or 'irrelevant' and thus prevents a one-time learned association between these harmless stimuli and a potential risk cue.
In the present studies, catFISH served as a functional imager that allowed us to visualize patterns of neuronal activation in response to the CS and US in animals that were awake and acquiring a one-trial learned association.
A forward model allows the animal to predict the outcomes of different available actions; in contrast to simple Pavlovian reinforcement learning, where the learned association is activated.
And although he did not try tests where the learned association was with a pleasant rather than a fearful stimulus, he is reasonably confident that stathmin's effect is specific to fear because it is confined to the amygdala.The researchers also have an idea about how the effect happens.
