The gap

Evidence profile

Sourced from the stated research gap and future-work section and limitations section of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 1975 and 1982, all from Learning and Motivation.

Supporting evidence — 7 representative gaps

• Within-compound associations between the context and the conditioned stimulus (1982) · Learning and Motivation · doi

  The gap in current research is the lack of understanding of how within-compound associations are formed and influence conditioned responding in fear conditioning. The paper identifies the need for further investigation of the role of within-compound associations in fear conditioning.

• Within-compound associations in a variety of compound conditioning procedures (1980) · Learning and Motivation · doi

  The gap is the lack of understanding of within-compound associations in various compound conditioning procedures. Prior work has not investigated within-compound associations in these procedures.

• Within-compound associations in a variety of compound conditioning procedures (1980) · Learning and Motivation · doi

  Future research should investigate the mechanisms of within-compound associations in compound conditioning procedures. Further studies should explore the implications of within-compound associations for the design of conditioning procedures.

• The extinction of within-compound flavor associations (1978) · Learning and Motivation · doi

  There is a gap in understanding how within-compound associations are extinguished. The paper addresses this gap by studying the extinction of within-compound flavor associations using a sensory preconditioning procedure.

• The extinction of within-compound flavor associations (1978) · Learning and Motivation · doi

  Future research should investigate the mechanisms underlying the extinction of within-compound associations. Further studies should examine the effects of separate presentation of elements on within-compound associations in different contexts. Research should also explore the implications of the findings for our understanding of Pavlovian conditioning and flavor aversion.

• The extinction of within-compound flavor associations (1978) · Learning and Motivation · doi

  The paper notes that the separate presentation of elements may have effects on performance in ways other than disrupting the within-compound association, such as reducing novelty and generating differences in neophobia or latent inhibition. The paper also notes that the findings may be limited by the specific experimental design and procedures used.

• Pavlovian compound conditioning in the rabbit (1975) · Learning and Motivation · doi

  The study identifies a gap in our understanding of Pavlovian compound conditioning. The current study evaluates the learning that may accrue to the specific combination of cues involved in a compound CS.
