Ostlund, S. B. & Balleine, B. W. Orbitofrontal cortex mediates outcome encoding in Pavlovian but not instrumental learning.
These mechanisms correspond to semantic memory, fear conditioning, and instrumental learning.
The animals' capabilities were subsequently checked in the rotarod test, and for classical and instrumental learning.
It is by now a very well established fact that rats form and test expectancies during observational and instrumental learning.
In conclusion, patients with OCD showed no deficit in their ability to use feedback to guide instrumental learning.
In the remaining conditions, encoding was prompted by trial and error learning within the context of an operant (instrumental) learning task.
Our experimental approach involved bringing a learning theory analysis of pavlovian and instrumental learning processes, and interactions between them, to the investigation of the neural mechanisms underlying both drug seeking and taking (Everitt et al., 2001).
The second type of learning technique is instrumental learning, or conditioning, also called operant conditioning.
Control sucrose self-administration experiments demonstrated that the observed neuroadaptations were not the result of instrumental learning per se.
Students who seek only instrumental learning can't even understand the love of liberal learning that motivates their teachers.
The predominance of the goal-directed vs. the habitual system was reflected in the slips of action in an instrumental learning task.
