Auto-shaping or orienting?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four experiments were carried out to study the development of the orienting response (OR) under different experimental conditions in the cat and rat. In Experiment I and II (cat) and Experiment IV (rat) classical CS-US pairing was used (with food, shock and water reinforcers, respectively). In Experiment III (cat) an instrumental pedal press response was brought under the control of a discriminative signal. In all four experiments the auditory CS was spatially discontiguous with reinforcement in order t o separate CS directed orienting responses from US related activities. Exposure to CS signalling food or water caused the animals to orient to it throughout conditioning (up to 700 trials) and this overt responding was absent if CS predicted aversive reinforcers. OR was consistently followed by goal (US) directed anticipatory activities. It is proposed that the CS directed auto-shaped response ("sign-tracking") is identical with the conditional orienting response, and that the spatio-temporal patterning of behaviors is influenced both by CS and US.

The honey bee has been an important model organism for studying learning and memory. More recently, the honey bee has become a valuable model to understand perception and cognition. However, the techniques used to explore psychological phenomena in honey bees have been limited to only a few primary methodologies such as the proboscis extension reflex, sting extension reflex, and free flying tar...
متن کاملData alignment with non-stationary shaping filters
Cross-correlation provides a method of calculating a static shift between two datasets. By cross-correlating patches of data, I can calculate a “warp function” that dynamically aligns the two datasets. By exploiting the link between cross-correlation and shaping filters, I calculate warp functions in a more general way, leveraging the full machinery of geophysical estimation. I compare warp fun...

Using multiple temporally-overlapped, frequency offset and phase-tuned, linear frequency chirps, a new method of multi-GHz optical coherent transient optical pulse shaping and processing in inhomogeneously broadened rare-earth doped crystals is proposed. Using this technique with properly chirped laser sources, multi-GHz processing can be controlled with conventional low-bandwidth electronics a...
متن کاملAssociations between regional cortical thickness and attentional networks as measured by the attention network test.
Efficient attention is pivotal for cognitive functioning, and individual differences in attentional functions are likely related to variations in structural properties of the brain. Attention is supported by separate processes, and models of the relationship between attention and brain structure must take this into account. The Attention Network Test (ANT) yields behavioral measures of 3 indepe...
متن کاملShaping attention with reward: effects of reward on space- and object-based selection.
The contribution of rewarded actions to automatic attentional selection remains obscure. We hypothesized that some forms of automatic orienting, such as object-based selection, can be completely abandoned in favor of a reward-maximizing strategy. In the two experiments reported here, we presented identical visual stimuli to observers while manipulating what was being rewarded (targets in differ...
