Abstract
Recent experiments have demonstrated that, just as in studies of animal conditioning, human contingency learning is influenced by cue processing mechanisms. That is, the processing resources devoted to learning about a given cue seem to depend on our prior experience of the predictiveness of that cue. This talk will use a number of recent of human learning experiments to illustrate properties of this cue processing mechanism.
Series This talk is part of the Zangwill Club series.
