Journal Article
Herrera, E., Austen, J. M., & Urcelay, G. P. (2023). The effects of goal–landmark distance on overshadowing: A replication in humans (Homo sapiens) of Goodyear and Kamil (2004). Journal of Comparative Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1037/com0000362

Goodyear and Kamil (2004) assessed the ability of Clark’s nutcrackers to find buried food based on a cross-shaped array of landmarks at different distances from the goal. Their findings suggested that proximal landmarks overshadowed learning about di...

Further evidence for the role of temporal contiguity as a determinant of overshadowing (2023)
Journal Article
Alcalá, J. A., Ogallar, P. M., Prados, J., & Urcelay, G. P. (2023). Further evidence for the role of temporal contiguity as a determinant of overshadowing. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218231197170

Three experiments explored whether weakening temporal contiguity between auditory cues and an aversive outcome attenuated cue competition in an avoidance learning task with human participants. Overall, with strong temporal contiguity between auditory... Read More about Further evidence for the role of temporal contiguity as a determinant of overshadowing.

Category relevance attenuates overshadowing in human predictive learning. (2023)
Journal Article
Alcalá, J. A., Prados, J., & Urcelay, G. P. (2023). Category relevance attenuates overshadowing in human predictive learning. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 49(3), 162-178. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000357

In situations in which multiple predictors anticipate the presence or absence of an outcome, cues compete to anticipate the outcome, resulting in a loss of associative strength compared to control conditions without additional cues. Critically, there... Read More about Category relevance attenuates overshadowing in human predictive learning..

Genetic and environmental influences on one-trial conditioned context aversion in mice (2023)
Journal Article
İlhan, Ç. F., Urcelay, G. P., & Kışlal, S. (2023). Genetic and environmental influences on one-trial conditioned context aversion in mice. Genes, Brain and Behavior, Article e12857. https://doi.org/10.1111/gbb.12857

Anticipatory nausea (AN) is caused by an association between contextual cues and the experience of nausea (the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation treatment) and it develops predominantly in female patients undergoing chemotherapy. Preclinical... Read More about Genetic and environmental influences on one-trial conditioned context aversion in mice.

Conditioned place avoidance in the planaria Schmidtea mediterranea: A pre-clinical invertebrate model of anxiety-related disorders (2023)
Journal Article
Jordan, L., Alcalá, J. A., Urcelay, G. P., & Prados, J. (2023). Conditioned place avoidance in the planaria Schmidtea mediterranea: A pre-clinical invertebrate model of anxiety-related disorders. Behavioural Processes, 210, Article 104894. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2023.104894

The objective of the present study was to develop a model of avoidance learning and its extinction in planarians (Schmidtea mediterranea). Based on previous experiments showing conditioned place preference, we developed a procedure to investigate con...

Contiguity and overshadowing interactions in the rapid-streaming procedure (2023)
Journal Article
Alcalá, J. A., Miller, R. R., Kirkden, R. D., & Urcelay, G. P. (2023). Contiguity and overshadowing interactions in the rapid-streaming procedure. Learning and Behavior, https://doi.org/10.3758/s13420-023-00582-4

When multiple cues are associated with the same outcome, organisms tend to select between the cues, with one revealing greater behavioral control at the expense of the others (i.e., cue competition). However, non-human and human studies have not alwa... Read More about Contiguity and overshadowing interactions in the rapid-streaming procedure.

Social overshadowing: Revisiting cue-competition in social interactions (2023)
Journal Article
Telga, M., Alcalá, J. A., Heyes, C., & Urcelay, G. P. (2023). Social overshadowing: Revisiting cue-competition in social interactions. Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, https://doi.org/10.3758/s13423-022-02229-3

In a large variety of contexts, it is essential to use the available information to extract patterns and behave accordingly. When it comes to social interactions for instance, the information gathered about interaction partners across multiple encoun...
