Title:
The neural basis of the partial reinforcement extinction effect
Abstract:
The partial reinforcement extinction effect (PREE) is a paradoxical learning phenomenon in which subjects that experience omission of reinforcement during conditioning show prolonged conditioned responding (resistance to extinction) compared to subjects that do not experience reinforcement omission. The PREE has proved difficult to reconcile with standard associative learning theory, and its neural basis is unclear. In this talk, I will present new behavioural, psychophysiological, immunohistochemical, electrophysiological and EEG data regarding the PREE, and will discuss the implications of these findings for our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying associative learning.
