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..
