A researcher who developed the SOP model of associative learning. The model uses different activation states of stimulus representations to explain how recent experience changes subsequent processing and association formation. It connects effects such as habituation with classical conditioning within a common account of memory in animals.[ref]

A researcher who coauthored reward-timed stimulation of dopamine neurons during associative learning. Blocking and extinction procedures tested whether an imposed signal could produce changes predicted by a reward-prediction-error account.[ref]

Peter F. Lovibond studied associative learning, threat expectancy and avoidance. Experiments on safety behaviors ask whether protection during a feared situation prevents a change in the expected threat. Distinguishing the experienced outcome from what a participant attributes to the safety behavior helps explain why an apparently safe trial need not produce the same learning in every condition.
