This project seeks to develop a better understanding of how learning is generalised to novel stimuli. Learning about associations around us helps us to obtain resources and minimise threat. A critical task for the learner is how far to extrapolate this knowledge: too little generalisation reduces the benefits of learning and too much risks distraction and maladaptive responding. Recent evidence has shown an important role for reasoning processes in human associative learning. This project aims to apply insights from the inductive reasoning literature to study the role of hypothesis and category induction in generalisation of associative learning. The results are expected to have important implications for our understanding of associative learning and generalisation which may inform techniques to promote adaptive generalisation in fields such as education, training and clinical practice.

该项目旨在更好地理解学习如何推广到新的刺激。了解我们周围的关联有助于我们获得资源并将威胁降至最低。对于学习者来说，一个关键的任务是如何推断这些知识：太少的概括会减少学习的好处，太多的风险会分散注意力和适应不良的反应。最近的证据表明，推理过程在人类联想学习中发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在应用归纳推理文献的观点，研究假设和类别归纳在联想学习概括中的作用。预计这些结果将对我们理解联想学习和概括产生重要影响，这可能会为教育，培训和临床实践等领域的自适应概括提供技术支持。
