The role of the dorsomedial striatum in instrumental conditioning (2005, background): “Thus instrumental performance has been found to be sensitive both to non-contingent reward delivery and to post-training changes in outcome value (Adams & Dickinson, 1981; Colwill & Rescorla, 1986; Dickinson & Balleine, 1994, 2002; Balleine, 2001).”
Memory processes in classical conditioning. (2004, background): “We have barely mentioned motivational factors (see [143] for one recent”
Bonsai Trees in Your Head: How the Pavlovian System Sculpts Goal-Directed Choices by Pruning Decision Trees (2012, background): “Influences were deemed Pavlovian when they were evoked in a fixed and inflexible manner in response to an outcome or a stimulus value, and goal-directed when sensitive to the ultimate, possibly distant, result of the choice [25].”
Reinforcement learning in the brain (2009, background): “Key to identifying these different systems is the fact that a certain behavior (for instance, simple lever-pressing by a rat) can have wholly different characteristics in different situations: early in training this behavior can show flexibility and sensitivity to changes in the task or in the anima”
Process Account of Curiosity and Interest: A Reward-Learning Perspective (2018, methodology): “The reinforcement-learning model is an extension of modern operant learning theory (Berridge 2004; Dickinson and Balleine 2002) and posits that our behavior is guided by the rewarding value of the behavior that is computed and updated through a reinforcement”
Reflective and Impulsive Determinants of Social Behavior (2004, background): “In particular, we propose that whenever a state of deprivation is successfully abolished, behaviors and situational circumstances that led to satisfying the need become strongly linked to the experience of this deprivation (cf. Dickinson & Balleine, 2002).”
Tonic dopamine: opportunity costs and the control of response vigor (2007, neutral): “This complicated combination of direct motivational sensitivity (of vigor, through the tonic dopamine signal) and insensitivity (of choice, as a result of required learning) turns out to match well the results of experiments on a particular psychological category of “habitual” or “stimulus–response””
Motivation concepts in behavioral neuroscience. (2004, background): “Cue-triggered ‘wanting’ does not require understanding of causal relations about the hedonic outcome [11,12,44].”
The debate over dopamine’s role in reward: the case for incentive salience (2007, background): “I should acknowledge that incentive salience is not the only form of incentive motivational value carried by a reward: there are other more cognitive and predominantly cortically mediated forms of motivational value, which use explicit representations of reward outcome value and representations of a”
Coming to terms with fear (2014, background): “However, drive proved problematic as an all-purpose explanation of motivation because organisms are also impelled to act by external incentives (46, 48, 49, 50).”
Intrinsic Motivation and Reinforcement Learning (2013, methodology): “A clear example of the influence of internal motivational state on behavior is an experiment by Mollenauer (1971) as described by Dickinson and Balleine (2002).”
The cognitive functions of the caudate nucleus. (2008, background): “In other words, providing a means through which conditioned stimuli in the environment can affect the direction and vigour of ongoing behaviour (sometimes called incentive salience (Dickinson and Balleine, 2002)).”
From prediction error to incentive salience: mesolimbic computation of reward motivation (2012, background): “…systems, and psychologically is more tightly linked to explicit predictions of future value based on declarative remembered previous values in episodic memory (e.g. as conscious episodic memories) (Berridge, 2001; Dickinson & Balleine, 2002, 2010; Kringelbach, 2010; Liljeholm et al., 2011).”
Integrating memories to guide decisions (2015, background): “This is the defining feature of a category of behavior known as goal-directed action [3].”
A specific role for posterior dorsolateral striatum in human habit learning (2009, methodology): “R) habit has been formed, a cue will elicit its associated response regardless of outcome value (Dickinson & Balleine, 2002).”
A new look at habits and the habit-goal interface. (2007, methodology): “This analysis builds on instrumental learning theories in which habits develop as organisms learn context–response associations in order to obtain rewarding events (see Dickinson & Balleine, 2002 ).”
Goals and Habits in the Brain (2013, neutral): “…map in a nonspatial domain as goal-directed behavior, which it then Neuron 80, October 16, 2013 ª2013 The Authors 313 contrasted with the notion of a habit (Dickinson and Balleine, 1994, 2002; Balleine and Dickinson, 1998; Graybiel, 2008; Adams and Dickinson, 1981; Dickinson and Charnock, 1985).”
