Funded Activity Summary

Human learning of likes and dislikes: A test of the dual process account and an investigation of its neural substrates. Dual process accounts of human affective learning hold that affective learning, the learning of likes and dislikes, and relational learning, the learning of predictive relationships, reflect separate learning mechanisms. Affective learning, for instance, is said not to extinguish, a claim that has far reaching consequences for the design of behaviourally based treatments of anxiety. The project will test this and other predictions of dual process accounts. Moreover, it will extent the experimental analysis of affective learning to the acquisition of likes and identify the cortical bases for aversive, appetitive, and relational learning using event related functional magnetic resonance imaging.
