In classical conditioning, also called Pavlovian conditioning, a neutral stimulus gains the ability to elicit a response as a result of being paired with another stimulus that already causes that response.
There are models concerned more generally with sustained binocular rivalry and in these models there is an acknowledgment that the rivalry process must begin with one stimulus gaining initial dominance over the other.
The Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW) model asserts that perceptual stages may unfold identically on conscious and non-conscious trials, but that, when a stimulus gains access to consciousness, stimulus-specific information is amplified and re-encoded in additional areas, including a prefrontal parietal network.
The therapeutic potential of discriminative extinction training has been encapsulated in a quote from Rescorla (1991, page 21): 'one might assume that an instrumental discriminative stimulus gains control over responding to the degree that the R-O association undergoes an increase in its presence.
Business inventories continue to slide, setting the stage for an inevitable reversal that sparks productive engines, especially as massive monetary and fiscal stimuluses gain purchase.
A very consistent finding is that more frequently experienced stimuli gain greater representations in primary sensory cortices [7].
In general, locust photoreceptors appear to code efficiently WN light stimuli (gain) by reducing the noise (γlin) at the frequencies where the signals are linear (γNF).
Based on the finding that more frequently experienced stimuli gain greater representations in sensory cortices during development, we reasoned that prior information could be stored in the size of cortical sensory representations.
Signs of hyperalgesia to thermal stimuli (gain-of-function in heat or cold pain threshold) were coded as G1, and hyperalgesia to mechanical stimuli (gain-of-function in mechanical pain threshold or sensitivity, dynamic mechanical allodynia, or pressure pain threshold) as G2.
Fearlessness is a far-end point on the spectrum of what psychologists call the "approach and withdrawal dimension" — people's tendency to approach new stimuli (to gain information and acquire new skills) and withdraw from unfamiliar stimuli (to avoid danger).
