The Effect of Microlevel and Macrolevel Signaling on Learning with 360° Videos
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Beege, Maik; Nebel, Steve; Schneider, Sascha; Rey, Günter Daniel – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
The application of 360° videos raised the attention of educators and researchers, as it appears to be an approachable option to mediate complete environments in educational settings. However, challenges emerge from the perspective of educational psychology. Learning irrelevant cognitive strains might be imposed because it is necessary to navigate…

Social Modulation of Associative Fear Learning by Pheromone Communication
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bredy, Timothy W.; Barad, Mark – Learning & Memory, 2009
Mice communicate through visual, vocal, and olfactory cues that influence innate, nonassociative behavior. We here report that exposure to a recently fear-conditioned familiar mouse impairs acquisition of conditioned fear and facilitates fear extinction, effects mimicked by both an olfactory chemosignal emitted by a recently fear-conditioned…

Serotonin Mediates a Learned Increase in Attraction to High Concentrations of Benzaldehyde in Aged "C. elegans"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tsui, David; van der Kooy, Derek – Learning & Memory, 2008
We utilized olfactory-mediated chemotaxis in "Caenorhabditis elegans" to examine the effect of aging on information processing and animal behavior. Wild-type (N2) young adults (day 4) initially approach and eventually avoid a point source of benzaldehyde. Aged adult animals (day 7) showed a stronger initial approach and a delayed avoidance to…

Development Switch in Neural Circuitry Underlying Odor-Malaise Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lunday, Lauren; Miner, Cathrine; Roth, Tania L.; Sullivan, Regina M.; Shionoya, Kiseko; Moriceau, Stephanie – Learning & Memory, 2006
Fetal and infant rats can learn to avoid odors paired with illness before development of brain areas supporting this learning in adults, suggesting an alternate learning circuit. Here we begin to document the transition from the infant to adult neural circuit underlying odor-malaise avoidance learning using LiCl (0.3 M; 1% of body weight, ip) and…

Extinction Training Regulates Neuroadaptive Responses to Withdrawal from Chronic Cocaine Self-Administration
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Smagula, Cynthia S.; Self, David W.; Choi, Kwang-Ho; Simmons, Diana; Walker, John R. – Learning & Memory, 2004
Cocaine produces multiple neuroadaptations with chronic repeated use. Many of these neuroadaptations can be reversed or normalized by extinction training during withdrawal from chronic cocaine self-administration in rats. This article reviews our past and present studies on extinction-induced modulation of the neuroadaptive response to chronic…

Can Human-Taught Primates Produce a Non-Verbal Language?
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Jaramillo, James A. – 1995
The debate over whether primates can be taught visual language is examined, and evidence of use of nonverbal language in primate studies is compared with the language criteria of a number of linguistic researchers. Background information on language, visual language (including sign language), and the parameters of the studies is offered, including…
