偶然性，尤其是时间的偶然性，经常在思考学习性质时想到。但是，从未正式定义它，以使其成为可以应用于大多数动物学习方案的度量。我们使用基本信息理论以使其成为几乎任何条件协议的可衡量属性的方式来定义偶然性。我们讨论如何使其成为可衡量的构造能够探索不同意外事件在经典和操作的行为中的获取和性能中的作用。 （c）2013 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Contingency, and more particularly temporal contingency, has often figured in thinking about the nature of learning. However, it has never been formally defined in such a way as to make it a measure that can be applied to most animal learning protocols. We use elementary information theory to define contingency in such a way as to make it a measurable property of almost any conditioning protocol. We discuss how making it a measurable construct enables the exploration of the role of different contingencies in the acquisition and performance of classically and operantly conditioned behavior.
