An experimental analysis on mechanism of relationship-learning by human.

本研究结合非人类动物经典条件反射领域的最新研究成果，通过实验方法探讨了人际关系学习的潜在机制。几个实验表明，在人类学习的情况下，很难获得一些现象，尽管它们经常在动物条件反射的情况下被发现。这些事实意味着，人类的关系学习不应该仅仅基于相对简单的算法来实现，例如联想形成，这被认为是动物条件反射的原因。

In this research, underlying mechanism of human relationship-learning was investigated through experimental methods in consideration of recent findings in the field of classical conditioning of nonhuman animals. Several experiments revealed difficulties in obtaining a couple of phenomena in human learning situations, though they have been frequently found in animal conditioning situations. These facts imply that human relationship-learning should not be realized only on the basis of relatively simple algorithm such as association formation, which has been thought to be responsible for animal conditioning.
