Le Pelley, M. E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
Monkeys will selectively and adaptively learn to avoid the most difficult trials of a perceptual discrimination learning task. Couchman, Coutinho, Beran, and Smith (2010) have recently demonstrated that this pattern of responding does not depend on animals receiving trial-by-trial feedback for their responses; it also obtains if experience of the…

Lozano, J. H.; Hernandez, J. M.; Rubio, V. J.; Santacreu, J. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2011
Although intelligence has traditionally been identified as "the ability to learn" (Peterson, 1925), this relationship has been questioned in simple operant learning tasks (Spielberger, 1962). Nevertheless, recent pieces of research have demonstrated a strong and significant correlation between associative learning measures and intelligence…

Mitchell, Chris J.; Wardle, Susan G.; Lovibond, Peter F.; Weidemann, Gabrielle; Chang, Betty P. I. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
In 3 experiments, we examined Perruchet, Cleeremans, and Destrebecqz's (2006) double dissociation of cued reaction time (RT) and target expectancy. In this design, participants receive a tone on every trial and are required to respond as quickly as possible to a square presented on 50% of those trials (a partial reinforcement schedule).…
