Associability processes in propositional learning

在这个项目中评估了一种新的学习注意模型。在这个模型中，学习不被视为与我们的祖先共享的低级进化旧系统的结果，而是作为我们应用规则和参与推理能力的产物。理解注意力在学习中的作用，将有助于我们更好地理解在成瘾等临床疾病中看到的注意力偏差，并为思考注意力的神经科学提供一种新的方式。这些好处可能会进一步为开发对抗注意力障碍的药物提供新的研究方向。

A novel attentional model of learning is evaluated in this project. In this model, learning is seen not as a consequence of a low-level, evolutionarily old system shared with our ancestors, but as a product of our capacity to apply rules and engage in reasoning. Understanding the role of attention in learning will allow a better understanding of the attentional biases seen in clinical disorders such as addiction and a new way to think about the neuroscience of attention. These benefits may further suggest new lines of research in the development of drugs to combat attentional disorders.
