Effects of stimulus blocking, light scattering, and distortion on multifocal electroretinogram.
PURPOSE To investigate how the multifocal electroretinogram (ERG) is altered in conditions of blocking, light scattering, or distortion of the stimulus that are seen in ocular pathologies. METHODS A central 40 degree-diameter stimulus pattern consisting of 61 hexagons was presented on a cathode ray tube monitor at a rate of 75 Hz according to the pseudo-random binary M sequence by the Veris c...
متن کاملReversal from blocking in humans as a result of posttraining extinction of the blocking stimulus
Responding to a stimulus that predicts an outcome can be weakened if other stimuli are presented in compound with this stimulus during training. Accounting for such stimulus competition has been central to the development of most contemporary theories of learning (e.g., Dickinson & Burke, 1996; Mackintosh, 1975; Miller & Matzel, 1988; Pearce & Hall, 1980; Rescorla & Wagner, 1972; Van Hamme & Wa...
متن کاملThe effects of amphetamine on blocking
In the blocking paradigm, prior conditioning to one stimulus, A, interferes with conditioning to a second stimulus, B, when the two are reinforced as a compound in subsequent training. The present experiment employed a conditioned emotional response (CER) procedure with rats to examine the effects of 1.5 mg/kg dl-amphetamine on blocking. The drug was administered in a 2 x 2 design, that is, dru...
متن کاملBlocking effects and polarity sensitivity
The absence of negative universal determiners in natural languages expressing “not all” has given rise to various speculations, ranging from an innate principle of grammar to blocking on the basis of pragmatic principles. After arguing that these proposals are flawed, I propose that there are no general principles standing in the way of such determiners, but that the two main processes which di...
