Abstract

The Rescorla and Wagner (1972) model is the first mathematical theory to explain associative learning in the presence of multiple stimuli. Its main theoretical construct is that of associative strength, but this is connected to behavior only loosely. We propose a model in which behavior is described by a collection of Poisson processes, each with a rate proportional to an associative strength. The model predicts that the time between behaviors follows an exponential or hypoexponential distribution. This prediction is supported by two data sets on autoshaped and instrumental behavior in rats.

联想如何成为行为。

Rescorla和Wagner（1972）模型是第一个解释存在多种刺激的联想学习的数学理论。它的主要理论结构是联想强度，但这只是松散地与行为联系在一起。我们提出了一个模型，其中行为由泊松过程的集合描述，每个过程的速率与关联强度成比例。该模型预测行为之间的时间遵循指数或次指数分布。这一预测得到了关于大鼠自动变形和工具行为的两个数据集的支持。

期刊介绍： Neurobiology of Learning and Memory publishes articles examining the neurobiological mechanisms underlying learning and memory at all levels of analysis ranging from molecular biology to synaptic and neural plasticity and behavior. We are especially interested in manuscripts that examine the neural circuits and molecular mechanisms underlying learning, memory and plasticity in both experimental animals and human subjects.
