Category relevance attenuates overshadowing in human predictive learning
(The University of Nottingham, 2022-11-25)In situations in which multiple predictors anticipate the presence or absence of an outcome, cues compete to anticipate the outcome, resulting in a loss of associative strength compared to control conditions without ... -
The effects of goal–landmark distance on overshadowing: a replication in humans (Homo sapiens) of Goodyear and Kamil (2004)
(The University of Nottingham, 2023-01-06)Goodyear & Kamil (2004) assessed the ability of Clark’s nutcrackers to find buried food based on a cross-shaped array of landmarks at different distances from the goal. Their findings suggested that close landmarks ... -
From competition to facilitation: temporal contiguity determines interactions between events in human Action-Outcome performance
(The University of Nottingham, 2021-09-17)Three experiments (n=81, n=81, n=82 respectively) explored how temporal contiguity influences Action-Outcome learning, assessing whether an intervening signal competed, facilitated, or had no effect on performance and ... -
Further evidence for the role of temporal contiguity as a determinant of overshadowing
(The University of Nottingham, 2022-09-16)Three experiments explored whether weakening temporal contiguity between auditory cues and an outcome attenuated cue-competition in an avoidance learning task with human participants. Overall, with strong temporal contiguity ... -
Temporal and spatial contiguity are necessary for competition between events
(The University of Nottingham, 2021-04-01)Over the last 50 years, cue competition phenomena have shaped theoretical developments in animal and human learning. However, recent failures to obtain the well-known blocking effect in standard conditioning procedures, ...
