Abstract: Abstract Backward evaluative conditioning has been shown to result in assimilative effects where backward conditional stimuli (CS) acquire the valence of the unconditional stimulus (US) or in contrast effects where backward CSs acquire valence opposite… read more here.

Abstract: For over two decades, midbrain dopamine was considered synonymous with the prediction error in temporal-difference reinforcement learning. Central to this proposal is the notion that reward-predictive stimuli become endowed with the scalar value of predicted… read more here.
