  1. Dec 18, 2003 · Under positive contingency, animals learn excitatory associations, and humans judge the response as the cause of the effect (Shanks & Dickinson, 1987; Wasserman, 1990; Young, 1995). Typically, the strength of the learned association increases with increasing positive contingency.

  2. Mar 18, 2009 · In a generative or positive contingency, P (O/R) is greater than P (O/∼R), so the outcome is more likely to occur when the key is pressed, whereas in a preventative or negative contingency, P (O/∼R) is greater than P (O/R), so the outcome is more likely to occur when the key is not pressed.

  3. Jan 1, 2022 · Excitatory conditioning refers to when the CS is a good predictor of the US as in positive contingency. Conditioned inhibition, on the other hand, refers to when the CS is a predictor of the absence of the US, as in negative contingency.

  4. Jan 8, 2020 · Cognitively-oriented clinical psychologists sometimes think of conditioning as the formation of associations in memory. From this perspective, conditioning research is important because it reveals the conditions under which potentially pathogenic associations are formed and can be changed.

    Jan 1, 2022 · Moreover, the nature of the association will depend on the sign of the contingency: excitatory associations will form between stimuli for which the contingency is positive while inhibitory associations are anticipated if the contingency between the two is negative.

  6. Jan 18, 2022 · Conditioning research has identified three mechanisms for the return of fear, viz. change in physical context (renewal), the passage of time (spontaneous recovery), and an encounter with the fear-producing unconditioned stimulus (reinstatement).
