WRITING MEMORIES WITH LIGHT-ADDRESSABLE REINFORCEMENT CIRCUITRY (2009, background): “Engineers (Kalman, 1960), researchers in machine learning (Samuel, 1959; Holland, 1986; Sutton and Barto, 1998), and psychologists (Rescorla and Wagner, 1972) have developed models of adaptive behavior in which error signals play a central role; they have also designed efficient algorithms for their”
RETHINKING THE EMOTIONAL BRAIN (2012, unknown): “Further, influential mathematical models of reinforcement (e.g., Rescorla and Wagner, 1972; Sutton and Barto, 1987) explained learning with singular learning rules.”
Structure and strength in causal induction. (2005, unknown): “…value of the weight given to the cause C when the causal induction task is modeled with a linear associator trained using the Rescorla-Wagner (Rescorla & Wagner, 1972) learning rule (Cheng, 1997; Cheng & Holyoak, 1995; Chapman & Robbins, 1990; Danks, 2003; Wasserman, Elek, Chatlosh & Baker,…”
Ten simple rules for the computational modeling of behavioral data (2019, methodology): “This approach was how the delta rule (see Model 3 below) was first invented (Rescorla et al., 1972).”
Strategies for Improving Long-Term Outcomes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Insights From Learning Theory (2014, background): “Rescorla and Wagner (1972) suggested that when an expected negative outcome fails to occur despite the presence of multiple predictors of the negative outcome, inhibitory learning is greater than when the predicted negative outcome fails to occur in the presence of just a single predictor (Rescorla…”
The Myth of Cognitive Decline: Non-Linear Dynamics of Lifelong Learning (2014, background): “…learning, the values of an initially undifferentiated set of cues are shaped by experience, which drives the discovery of the cue values that best predict a learner's environment (Ramscar et al., 2010; Sutton & Barto, 1998; Rescorla, 1988; Rescorla & Wagner, 1972; Sutton & Barto, 1998).”
Contemporary perspectives on the psychology of attitudes (2004, background): “Moreover, as we will see shortly, associative models of conditioning (cf. Rescorla & Wagner, 1972) have many key elements in common with current connectionist models.”
