DOI: 10.1007/s00213-020-05571-3
Abstract: Pavlovian conditioned approach paradigms are used to characterize the nature of motivational behaviors in response to stimuli as either directed toward the cue (i.e., sign-tracking) or the site of reward delivery (i.e., goal-tracking). Recent evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.appet.2018.10.024
Abstract: 'Wanting' and 'liking' are mediated by distinct brain reward systems but their dissociation in human appetite and overeating remains debated. Further, the influence of socioemotional cues on food reward is little explored. We examined these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2017.12.028
Abstract: Highlights45 rats were classified in terms of their capacity of incentive salience attribution as sign‐trackers or goal‐trackers.Sign‐trackers and goal‐trackers were evaluated in the “suboptimal choice procedure”.Both groups were found to behave optimally.We found no evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2017.06.012
Abstract: Previous research has identified clear differences between pigeons and rats in the suboptimal choice procedure. Pigeons behave suboptimally, preferring an alternative with discriminative stimuli and a smaller probability of reinforcement, over another with a higher… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsat.2020.108227
Abstract: Incentive salience, or the attribution of motivational value to stimuli, is a biopsychological process that is disrupted in alcohol use disorder (AUD). The Addictions Neuroclinical Assessment (ANA) is a framework to characterize heterogeneity in addiction… read more here.

DOI: 10.1523/eneuro.0328-17.2018
Abstract: Abstract Some rats are especially prone to attribute incentive salience to a cue (conditioned stimulus, CS) paired with food reward (sign-trackers, STs), but the extent they do so varies as a function of the form… read more here.
