  • Animal Learning and Cognition
    • Associative structure
      • pavlovian conditioning
        • Stimulus/response vs. stimulus/stimulus
      • instrumental conditioning
        • stimulus/response vs. response/outcome
    • Conditions of learning
      • overshadowing, blocking, contingency effects
        • temporal contiguity is necessary, but not sufficient
          • pavlovian conditioning
            • Stimulus/response vs. stimulus/stimulus
      • the role of surprise
        • Rescorla-Wagner model
          • issues explaining certain phenomena
          • makes novel predictions (e.g. super conditioning)
    • Theories of Learning
      • conditioned inhibition
        • summation and retardation test
        • explanation 1: inhibitory link account
          • issues explaining certain phenomena
        • explanation 2: the 'no US' account
    • Attention
      • Habituation
      • Latent inhibition
        • phenomena may be multiply determined
          • Habituation
      • Models
        • Standard Operating Procedure model
        • Pearce & Hall model
    • Learning to performance
      • stimulus substitution
        • can't be explained by current theories
          • Theories of Learning
            • conditioned inhibition
              • summation and retardation test
              • explanation 1: inhibitory link account
                • explanation 2: the 'no US' account
          • problem - conditioned response not always same as unconditioned response
          • problem - different measures of conditioning can lead to different conclusions
          • HeiDI model possible solution
      • Discrimination
        • elemental theories
          • Rescorla-Wagner rule
            • configural cue - still stuggles to explain lack of catastrophic interference
        • configural theories
          • predicts symmetrical discrimination, which is incorrect
          • can explain lack of catastrophic infererence
            • configural cue - still stuggles to explain lack of catastrophic interference
      • Categorisation
        • concrete
          • feature learning
            • used in different circumstances?
          • rote learning
          • exemplar theory
        • abstract
          • concept
            • second-order relationships
            • analogical reasoning
      • Animal minds
        • Self-recognition
          • mirror use
        • Theory of mind
          • deception
          • knowledge attribution
        • Metacognition
          • metamemory
      • Social learning
        • stimulus enhancement
        • socially acquired food preference
        • socially acquired food aversion
        • observationalconditioning
        • copying behaviour
          • mimicry
          • imitation
          • explanation - associative learning theory or mirror neurons?
