Comments on an article by David Dreyer et al. (see record 2026-44878-014). Dreyer et al. expand the sensory toolbox deployed by Bogong moths to include celestial cues in the night sky, including the stars. The discovery of a stellar compass...

Comments on an article by L. A. Townrow & C. Krupenye (see record 2025-81163-001). Townrow and Krupenye show that bonobos will point more in a cooperative task when their partner is ignorant of the location of the desired food. While their ...
Modulating perceptual learning: Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) reduces the face inversion effect (FIE), while cathodal tDCS restores it to baseline [0.03%]
经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)调控知觉学习：阳极tDCS减弱倒置脸效应(FIE)，而阴极tDCS使其恢复至基础水平

We report three large experiments (n = 440 in total) investigating the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) at Fp3 on perceptual learning indexed by the face inversion effect (FIE). Experiments employed a double-blinded...

This study investigated the effects of habituation to different light intensities on the head retraction response in the earthworm Dendrobaena veneta using a t1-t2 experimental design. Twenty-four adult earthworms were randomly assigned to ...
Intertrial interval as a contextual stimulus in discriminated operant learning [0.03%]
辨别操作性学习中试间期的上下文刺激作用

Emery W Harlan et al.
Previous research on Pavlovian conditioning has shown that the duration of the intertrial interval (ITI) can function like a contextual stimulus, modulating responding to an upcoming conditioned stimulus. Here, four operant learning experim...
Spatial proximity determines overshadowing between landmarks in human spatial navigation [0.03%]
地点的空間距離在人類空間導航中決定地标之间的相互遮蔽效应

Estibaliz Herrera
Previous studies involving birds and humans have identified spatial proximity as a source of overshadowing between landmarks in navigation. In Herrera et al. (2024), subjects were trained in an open environment to locate a hidden goal with ...

In the Ephemeral Reward Task, a subject is presented with a choice between two stimuli, A and B. If it chooses A, it gets a reward and the trial is over. If it chooses B, it gets a reward and it can then respond to A, to obtain a second rew...
Mechanisms underlying the accuracy of stimulus representations: Within-event learning and outcome mediation [0.03%]
提高刺激表征准确性的机制：事件内学习和结果调节作用
Sandra Lagator,Clara Muñiz-Diez,Tom Beesley et al.
Sandra Lagator et al.
Valid predictors of an outcome attract more attention than stimuli that are nonpredictive. Furthermore, stimuli that have a probabilistic association with an outcome attract more attention than stimuli that have a deterministic association ...
Probability and rate of reinforcement in negative prediction error learning [0.03%]
概率和强化率在负面预测误差学习中的作用
David J Sanderson,Joseph M Austen,Anthony McGregor et al.
David J Sanderson et al.
Trial-based theories of associative learning propose that learning is sensitive to the probability of reinforcement signaled by a conditioned stimulus (CS). Learning, however, is often sensitive to reinforcement rate rather than probability...

Sign-tracking behavior, also known as "autoshaping," is defined as the approach and interaction with reward-predictive cues. It is associated with addiction-related phenotypes and compulsive behavior. Several previous studies have demonstra...
