Interference in Human Predictive Learning when Associations Share a Common Element

摘要: Interference between cues is generally regarded as different from interference outcomes in the (animal and human) predictive learning literature. In consequence, current theories of attempt to explain one or other effect but not both. general, are assumed interfere with each only if they trained compound predictors same outcome, whereas have been individually paired cue. two experiments humans, we examined parallel elementally-trained outcomes, using a behavioral preparation. Experiment 1 showed that both effects similarly affected by identical contextual manipulations. 2 take place when interfering association shares an element target association: When shared takes places; cue, occurs. These results add growing body evidence calls for integrative study situations.
