One of the most influential theories of avoidance learning, which explicitly addressed the role of informational factors, is the cognitive theory of Seligman and Johnston (1973).

Noteworthy figureheads of the S-R view included Thorndike (1933), Guthrie (1935), and Spence (1936), and the investigator to provide perhaps the most complete iteration of the S-R view was Clark L. Hull in his profoundly popular book Principles of Behavior (Hull, 1943). The theory assumes that Post-training intra-striatal scopolamine or flupenthixol impairs radial maze learning in rats. The Avoidance of Painful Events: Hull's theory In contrast, women showed a preference for place learning over response learning during the mid/late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (i.e., when estrogen levels are decreasing and progesterone levels are high). Aside from hippocampal and striatal regions, evidence also indicates a role for the medial prefrontal cortex in the effects of estrogen on place and response learning. doi: 10.1080/14640748208400878, Adams, C.

Mowrer for the goal object. In the response learning task (Figure 4A), animals were also released from opposite starting positions, but the food reward in this case was rotated to opposite goal arms in such a way that for animals to quickly retrieve the food, they needed to make a consistent body-turn response. IV. After time, the Glucocorticoids boost stimulus-response memory formation in humans. 154, 245253. Many Hussain, D., Cossette, M.-P., and Brake, W. G. (2016a). Metabolic substrates, such as glucose and lactate, may provide the necessary energy for neurons in the hippocampus and DLS to meet the demands of the place and response learning tasks, respectively. He believed that such concepts were the unfortunate byproducts of anthropomorphic subjectivism (i.e., the tendency to regard animals as having human thoughts and feelings). The observation that repeated cannabinoid exposure strengthens habitual response learning is consistent with the hypothesis that repeated drug use may shift the control of behavior from hippocampal cognitive goal-directed learning to DLS response learning, as a potential neural mechanism underlying cannabis addiction (Goodman and Packard, 2015a, 2016a). Effects of overtraining on acquisition and reversal of place and response learning. For instance, if a hungry rat hears a tone (S) and then presses a lever (R) resulting in the delivery of a favorable food outcome (O), consumption of the food will lead to drive reduction (i.e., less hunger), and thus the S-R association between the tone and the lever-press will be strengthened.

WebThe Cognitive Theory of Seligman and Johnson. Infusions of anxiogenic drugs impair acquisition in a place learning version of the plus-maze, and similar doses enhance acquisition of response learning (Wingard and Packard, 2008; Packard and Gabriele, 2009; Sadowski et al., 2009). These formulas were leaps and bounds above the primitive S-R associations being proposed by classical behaviorists (Thorndike, 1898; Watson, 1914). particular response.

Also, measures of acetylcholine release both before and during dual-solution training indicate that rats using a response learning strategy on a subsequent probe trial had a higher ratio of intra-DLS acetylcholine release relative to intra-hippocampal acetylcholine (McIntyre et al., 2003).

Consistent with the idea that the memory systems mediating place and response learning compete with each other in some learning situations (Poldrack and Packard, 2003), stress/anxiety may enhance response learning and lead to greater use of response learning strategies indirectly by impairing the function of the memory system mediating place learning. relationship between an operant response and a Copyright 2021 Goodman.

In the S-R response learning or win-stay radial maze (Packard et al., 1989; Figure 5A), four of the eight arms in a radial maze are reinforced and signaled with a light stimulus, and rats may go to each of the illuminated arms twice within a daily training session to retrieve food. in learning, the cues present at the time Hippocampal and striatal dependent navigation: sex differences are limited to acquisition.

JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL AND INSTRUCTIONAL Through Brain Res. Although Hull and Tolman were similar in their urge to break away from the restrictions of Watsonian behaviorism, Hull, unlike Tolman, refrained from incorporating in his theory what he viewed as teleological concepts, such as purpose and expectation. Behavioral stressors, such as restraint stress or exposure to predator odor, enhance acquisition in the response learning plus-maze task and lead to greater use of response learning over place learning in the dual-solution plus-maze task (Sadowski et al., 2009; Leong and Packard, 2014; Taylor et al., 2014). Purposive Behaviorism: it is also been referred to as Sign Learning Theory and is often unite between behaviorism and cognitive theory. To safeguard oneself against these pitfalls, Hull suggested that we regard.

Is learning continuous or discontinuous; is it a gradual or sudden (one-trial) process? Differential involvement of M1-type and M4-type muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the dorsomedial striatum in task switching. of Learning Theories When using the place and response learning tasks, a double dissociation may be demonstrated when damage to brain region A impairs place learning, but not response learning, whereas damage to brain region B impairs response learning, but not place learning. During proestrus (i.e., when ovarian hormone levels are high), female rats preferentially employ a place learning strategy, whereas during estrous (i.e., when ovarian hormones are low) female rats display a response learning strategy (Korol et al., 2004). 136, 5462. For instance, under certain training parameters, the hippocampus may be required for response learning, and the DLS may be required for place learning (Ferbinteanu, 2016, 2020), which is in stark contrast to the conventional view that the hippocampus mediates place learning and the DLS mediates response learning (White et al., 2013).

Neurosci. During the probe trial, if the rat continues to make the same right body-turn response at the choice point (i.e., running away from the original food location on the West arm), they are labeled as a response-learner. If instead, the rat makes a left turn at the choice point (i.e., running toward the original food location on the West arm), they are labeled as a place-learner.. The ongoing use of the place and response learning tasks will likely aid in the continued revision of memory systems theory, thus further strengthening our understanding of how memory is organized in the brain. Likewise, in a conditional T-maze task, estrogen replacement in ovariectomized rats impairs initial acquisition, yet enhances extra-dimensional set-shifting (Lipatova et al., 2016). doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2006.09.002, Zurkovsky, L., Brown, S.

It should be noted that the dual-solution plus-maze task has evolved since its original iteration from Blodgett and McCutchan (1948). However, the neural circuits involved in tilting the dominance from one memory system to another (e.g., from hippocampus-dependent place learning to DLS-dependent response learning) have yet to be identified, representing an open area for future work. doi: 10.1073/pnas.91.18.8477, Packard, M.
