Symposium on Attention and Performance

描述（由申请人提供）：未提供;信息摘自会议计划。 拟议会议的目标是探讨影响，学习和决策之间的关系。会议将汇集研究影响，学习和决策的研究人员。我们的目标是将这些明显相关但往往独立进行的研究联系起来。希望是那些研究情感表征和情感学习的科学家，他们现在推测这些反应的适应性作用，对决策和选择的潜在过程有一些了解。与此同时，那些主要研究决策的神经回路和计算模型的研究人员，将获得一些更广泛的影响表征的曝光和洞察力，这一领域通常只关注指导行为的奖励（而不是厌恶反应）。通过将从多个角度研究情感学习和决策的高级和初级研究人员聚集在一起，希望我们将促进未来的研究，更直接地研究情感学习和选择行为之间的联系。此外，通过让基础科学研究人员接触到使用这些模型来了解药物成瘾和其他类型的精神病理学的研究人员，我们希望促进转化研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): None provided; information taken from the Conference Plan. The goal of the proposed conference is to explore the relation between affect, learning and decision-making. The conference will bring together researchers who study affect, learning and decision-making. The goal is to bridge these lines of research that are clearly related, but have often been pursued independently. The hope is that scientists who study the representation of affect and affective learning, who now speculate on the adaptive role of these responses, gain some insight into the processes underlying decisions and choices. At same time, researchers who have primarily examined the neural circuitry and computational models of decision-making, a field that has often focused only on reward in guiding behavior (as opposed to aversive reactions), will gain some exposure and insight into the representation of affect more broadly. By bringing together both senior and junior investigators studying affective learning and decision making from a number of perspectives, it is hoped that we will foster future research that examines the link between affective learning and choice behavior more directly. Furthermore, by exposing basic science researchers to investigators using these models to understand drug addiction and other types of psychopathology, we hope to promote translational research.
