Journal Article
Haselgrove, M., Lagator, S., Mah, S. L., & Gray, E. (in press). Novelty Mismatch as a Determinant of Latent Inhibition. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition,

Latent inhibition refers to the observation, made in both human and non-human animals, that learning about the relationship between a stimulus and an outcome progresses more rapidly when the stimulus is novel compared to when the stimulus has been re...

A Developmental Trajectory of Latent Inhibition (2024)
Journal Article
Haselgrove, M., & Mah, S. L. (2024). A Developmental Trajectory of Latent Inhibition. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 50(3), 186-196. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000381

Latent inhibition is said to occur when learning about the relationship between a cue and an outcome proceeds more readily when the cue is novel relative to when the cue has been rendered familiar through mere preexposure. Previous studies suggest th... Read More about A Developmental Trajectory of Latent Inhibition.
