Sentence examples for associative task from inspiring English sources

Although systematic differences in reflexively evoked eyelid responses would not preclude the possibility of examining whether blink responses may be acquired in an associative task, putative differences in the acquisition process between both groups of animals could be ascribed to the learning process and not to any performance deficit.

One concern is there were time restrictions on recall during the associative task that were not present in the item task; the other is that stimuli on the item task were presented in the same order on each trial, whereas they were presented in a different order on each trial of the associative task.

One argument offered against the serial TI paradigm as a test of inference is based on the grounds that it is an associative task with stimuli not falling along a linear dimension and inferences may be a function of a value transfer between and among the S+ and S- stimuli [ 23].

Support for this hypothesis comes from studies of Pavlovian eyeblink conditioning (Medina et al., 2000), a simple associative task in which subjects learn to blink to an initially neutral cue if it is repeatedly paired with a blink-eliciting instructive stimulus, such as a periocular airpuff.

It has been reported that hippocampus-dependent learning affects adult-generated neurons — that is, there is an increase in the number of new cells in response to training in associative tasks that require the hippocampus, including a trace paradigm of the classical conditioning of the eyelid response [23], [24].

A possible explanation is that fear-related tests, as one-time associative tasks, are more sensitive to the large decrease, up to 40%, of terminally differentiated stage 6 neurons 1- to 4-week-old, than the Morris water maze that, conversely, consists of repeated training trials.

The present learning speed is comparable with a study on acquisition of visually guided conditional associative tasks in Göttingen minipigs.

At that time the females express less emotionality and enhanced learning of simple associative tasks as eye-blink conditioning, but are impaired in performing more complex learning tasks.

The effects of temporal inactivation of the CA3-region was examined in a non-associative task, the spatial open-field, designed to estimate the ability of mice to react to spatial changes, and in the object recognition task, designed to estimate the ability of mice to identify a familiar object.

Here, it is shown that the learning-related spiking activity of some hippocampal neurons (changing cells; Wirth et al., 2003) in monkeys performing an associative learning task (location-scene association task; Wirth et al., 2003) is correlated with the reward-predictive value signal V t) generated by a TD learning algorithm that is trained on the same task.

The present study extends the relation of increased high frequency graded response activity to LFP power and to an associative learning task in human temporal association cortex.
