When the feature and the target occur simultaneously, direct control of the response by X is typically observed, whereas serial pairings produce occasion setting. The present experiment evaluated the effects of the temporal arrangement and spatial stability of the target in a spatial task with pigeons. On separate trials, Features W and X (display color) were simultaneously presented with Landmarks A and B (visual icons) displayed at the same location (out of a row of eight locations) across trials, and pecks at the same response box were reinforced on every trial (goal; simultaneous/static). On other trials, Features Y and Z preceded the onset of Landmarks C and D, which varied in their location across trials, and the reinforced response box was positioned relative to the landmark (serial/dynamic). Transfer tests compared responding to features and landmarks with similar (i.e., W:B, X:A, Y→D, Z→C; Test 1) or different (i.e., W:D, X:C, Y→B, Z→A; Test 2) training histories. Test 1 revealed evidence more consistent with occasion setting during serial/dynamic transfer, whereas evidence more consistent with direct control was observed during simultaneous/static transfer. Test 2 revealed asymmetries in transfer when the features and the targets from different training histories were tested. The results are largely consistent with past research, but testing within a spatial task allowed for an analysis of whether and where responses occurred.

In this study, participants completed a Pavlovian conditioning task involving outcomes varying in their level of aversiveness: a tactile (nonaversive) or painful (aversive) shock, and no-shock. Skin conductance responses (SCRs), explicit pleasantness ratings of each CS, and CS-outcome contingency ratings were recorded. Although both painful and tactile outcomes elicited unconditioned SCRs, with greater responses for the former, only the painful outcome triggered anticipatory conditioned SCRs and robust prediction error-related SCRs following its unexpected omission. Computational modeling, through a Rescorla-Wagner model, revealed that prediction errors estimated by the model significantly predicted SCRs following painful outcome omissions, confirming their role as prediction error signals. In addition, the model-derived outcome sensitivity parameter, reflecting the affective value assigned to the different outcomes by each participant, was higher for painful than tactile stimuli, effectively discriminating between them, whereas learning rates did not differ across outcomes. These findings refine our understanding of emotional learning by showing how the affective value of the outcome shapes the predictive mechanisms underlying conditioned responding, as revealed through converging autonomic, explicit, and computational modeling evidence.

Auditory processing is especially important given its implications for acoustic communication, language, and music evolution. In two experiments using an auditory go/no-go procedure, we examined how pigeons processed same/different (S/D) sound sequences. Experiment 1 tested three pigeons with blocked, recurring, or cyclic organizations of two, three, four, or six elements within sequential presentations of 12 1.5-s sounds. Experiment 2 tested four pigeons and examined how midsequence S/D transitions affected ongoing discrimination using contrasting priming strings of varying lengths. Both experiments revealed the birds' ongoing sensitivity to auditory S/D presentations, with the strongest influence exerted by more recently experienced items. The experimental data and subsequent computational modeling suggested pigeons used working memory limited to the last three to four sounds, spanning 4-6 s, to judge the S/D property. These results have important implications for different hypotheses regarding the structure and processing of cross- and multimodal S/D discriminations.

The goal was to test whether different aspects of the microstructure of free-operant responding would be differentially affected by the manipulation to test the view that bout-initiation responses can be regarded as stimulus-driven habits both susceptible to devaluation, and within-bout responses as goal-directed actions that are susceptible to such effects. Humans responded to a fictitious investment game in which responses made investments in two countries with different currencies. These currencies had an exchange rate into Great British Pound (GBP), which could be manipulated to devalue the currency (reinforcer). In Experiments 1a and 2, random ratio schedules showed overall devaluation effects, which were limited to within-bout rates and more pronounced on longer ratios. In Experiments 1b and 3, random interval schedules showed limited devaluation effects, overall, except for with shorter intervals. This effect was seen on some schedules for within-bout responding. Experiments 4 and 5 manipulated the response-reinforcer feedback function (Experiment 4) and participants' ability to experience contingency variations by pretraining to be variable or static in response rates (Experiment 5). Only when there was a stronger response-reinforcer relationship (Experiment 4), which could be experienced due to variable responding (Experiment 5), did the devaluation effect occur, and these effects were limited to within-bout responses. These data suggest that an account of free-operant responding based on there being, at least, two classes of response-bout initiations that are stimulus-driven habits, and within-bout responses that are goal-directed actions-may explain many schedule effects.

VMAC is thought to measure incentive salience and has been shown to correlate with multiple measures of compulsivity. The current study demonstrates the first successful back-translation of VMAC to rodents. To achieve this, mice (Experiment 1) or rats (Experiment 2) were trained to sign-track to a high-value lever signaling three pellets and a low-value lever signaling one pellet, which would later serve as distractors. Rodents were next trained to nose-poke an illuminated port for a pellet, which would serve as the \"target\" response. The key VMAC test phase compared nose-poke performance in the presence of high- versus low-value lever distractors. Rodents made significantly more omissions in the presence of the high- than the low-value lever distractor despite losing three times as many pellets on these trials. This replicates findings from human VMAC tasks, in which participants are consistently impaired on high-value relative to low-value distractor trials despite greater reward loss. In Experiment 2, we showed that this effect persisted despite devaluation of the pellet outcome by conditioned taste aversion, even when the disliked outcome was presented, suggesting a compulsion-like mechanism. Together, these data show that VMAC can be observed in both mice and rats, which opens new avenues for investigation of its behavioral and neural underpinnings, with implications for understanding and treating compulsive disorders.
