Abstract:
Quantitative data on the speed with which animals acquire
behavioral responses during classical conditioning experiments
should provide strong constraints on models of learning. However,
most models have simply ignored these data; the few that have
attempted to address them have failed by at least an order of
magnitude. We discuss key data on the speed of acquisition, and
show how to account for them using a statistically sound model of
learning, in which differential reliabilities of stimuli play a
crucial role.
