Funded Activity Summary

Testing a cooperative model of human associative learning. Understanding how we learn about causal relationships in our environment is a fundamental aspect of psychology and is critical to adaptive behaviour. In this project, we propose a novel cognitive model of learning to replace the traditional reflexive Pavlovian model that has dominated the area for 80 years. The project will lend new vitality to the debate on learning and help to maintain Australia's reputation as a leader in this research area worldwide. In addition, the understanding of learning mechanisms is central to our understanding of neuroscience, clinical disorders and a wide range of applications such as education and advertising/marketing. clinical issues.
