How people learn inhibitory associations

这个项目旨在结合联想和认知理论的见解，调查人们是如何获得、表现和概括关于抑制性或预防性关系的知识的。该项目打算使用新的方法来评估由个体参与者推断的抑制性因果结构，预计将包括直接结果预防、因果关系的调节和结构性学习。这个项目应该扩大我们对人类联想学习机制的理解。该项目应在确定不良适应习得性联系并使之正常化的基础上，使临床干预措施受益并得到信息。

This project aims to combine insights from associative and cognitive theories to investigate how people acquire, represent and generalise knowledge about inhibitory, or preventative, relationships. The project intends to use novel methods to assess the inhibitory causal structures inferred by individual participants, expected to include direct outcome prevention, modulation of a causal relationship, and configural learning. This project should expand our understanding of the mechanisms of human associative learning. The project should benefit and inform clinical interventions based on identifying and normalising maladaptive learned associations.
