We then assessed reversal learning in which all or just some of the exemplars in each category were reversed and observed superior learning of \findings do not support a simple associative model that only includes direct exemplar-category associations. Instead, we suggest how a multi-layered network approach can explain these results.4:15pm %u2013 4:25pmDOES REWARD-PAIRED STIMULUS AND THE REWARD ITSELF ACTIVATE THE SAME INTERNAL REPRESENTATION?JENNIFER ABRAMS (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK GRADUATE CENTER), NORMAN TU (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK GRADUATE CENTER), ANDREW R. DELAMATER (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK BROOKLYN COLLEGE) Rats learned to choose one response lever after noncontingent presentation of a pellet (O1) but a different response after sucrose (O2). Each correct response was rewarded, either immediately or after a 5s delay, with the opposite reward type (O1: R1-O2, O2: R2-O1). All rats were then given differential Pavlovian training (A-O1, B-O2), before testing whether these cues could substitute for the outcomes in the choice task. Results suggest that training with delayed rewards promote substitution.4:30pm %u2013 4:40pmLATENT INHIBITION IN HUMANS: CHALLENGING ITS PLACE IN ASSOCIATIVE LEARNINGADRIANNA AGNELLO (SUNY-BINGHAMTON), JAMES WITNAUER (SUNY-BROCKPORT), JEREMIE JOZEFOWIEZ (UNIVERSITY OF LILLE), RALPH MILLER (SUNY-BINGHAMTON) Three experiments investigated latent inhibition (LI) with humans in evaluative and predictive conditioning. Despite the literature suggesting LI is ubiquitous, across various pre-exposure durations, cue-outcome relationships, masking tasks, and control stimuli, findings were inconsistent: Experiment 1 showed weak LI effects, Experiment 2 failed to produce LI, and Experiment 3 found a weak LI trend in reaction times for CS+ cues in Phase 2. These results challenge LI as a benchmark for models of associative learning.4:45pm %u2013 4:55pmTHE NATURE OF TASTE + ODOR WITHINCOMPOUND ASSOCIATIONSROBERT BATSELL (KALAMAZOO COLLEGE) To examine the within-compound association formed during A+/AX+ conditioning, rats received aversive compound conditioning followed by extinction of CS X to observe the effect on CS A. Initially, taste extinction weakened the aversion to odor, but odor extinction did not alter the taste aversion. Subsequent studies showed after altering the associative value of the taste before compound conditioning, odor extinction weakens the taste aversion. These results provide evidence of a bidirectional within-compound association.Saturday, March 8, 20254:00pm %u2013 5:00pm Symposium ZiegfeldSOCIAL SYMPOSIUM: THIS DOESN'T FIT!
