Temporal contiguity determines overshadowing and potentiation of human Action-Outcome performance (2022)
Journal Article
Alcalá, J. A., Kirkden, R. D., Bray, J., Prados, J., & Urcelay, G. P. (2022). Temporal contiguity determines overshadowing and potentiation of human Action-Outcome performance. Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, https://doi.org/10.3758/s13423-022-02155-4

Three experiments (n = 81, n = 81, n = 82, respectively) explored how temporal contiguity influences Action-Outcome learning, assessing whether an intervening signal competed, facilitated, or had no effect on performance and causal attribution in und...

Signal detection analysis of contingency assessment: Associative interference and nonreinforcement impact cue-outcome contingency sensitivity, whereas cue density affects bias (2022)
Journal Article
Jozefowiez, J., Urcelay, G. P., & Miller, R. R. (2022). Signal detection analysis of contingency assessment: Associative interference and nonreinforcement impact cue-outcome contingency sensitivity, whereas cue density affects bias. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 48(3), 190-202. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000334

In a signal detection theory approach to associative learning, the perceived (i.e., subjective) contingency between a cue and an outcome is a random variable drawn from a Gaussian distribution. At the end of the sequence, participants report a positi...

Temporal and Spatial Contiguity Are Necessary for Competition Between Events (2022)
Journal Article
Herrera, E., Alcalá, J. A., Tazumi, T., Buckley, M. G., Prados, J., & Urcelay, G. P. (2022). Temporal and Spatial Contiguity Are Necessary for Competition Between Events. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 48(3), 321–347

Over the last 50 years, cue competition phenomena have shaped theoretical developments in animal and human learning. However, recent failures to observe competition effects in standard conditioning procedures, as well as the lengthy and ongoing debat...

Fear memory modulation by incentive down and up-shifts (2022)
Journal Article
Mugnaini, M., Alfei, J. M., Bueno, A. M., Ferrer Monti, R. I., & Urcelay, G. P. (2022). Fear memory modulation by incentive down and up-shifts. Behavioural Brain Research, 422, Article 113766. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2022.113766

Research on retrieval-induced malleability of maladaptive emotional memories has been mostly focused on the effect of drugs and extinction (i.e. post-retrieval extinction). Only a few studies addressed post-retrieval appetitive-aversive interactions.... Read More about Fear memory modulation by incentive down and up-shifts.
