New directions for a classical paradigm: human eyeblink conditioning
Article Abstract:
New directions for a model paradigm for assessing fundamental issues in learning and memory are presented. The applications for research on the human eyeblink classical conditioning method include the evaluation of neurocognitive development in infancy, assessment of hypotheses regarding brain memory systems, theory building in abnormal psychology to investigate relationships between learning rate and obsessive-compulsive behavior an the exploration of the role of brain structures in timing and learning.

Timing in eyeblink classical conditioning and timed-interval tapping
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to examine the similarities in timed-interval tapping and eyeblink classical conditioning by correlating the slope terms for the motor and perceptual tasks. Performance on both tasks were investigated across a range of identical intervals in five weekly sessions. Results revealed that the slope values for both tasks were similar which indicated that the two tasks invoke the operation of a common timing system.

Eyeblink classical conditioning and awareness revisited
Article Abstract:
140 adults were assessed for dual-task performance during eyeblink classical conditioning (EBCC) and another secondary task. Conditioned responses (CRs) were acquired at normal levels. 27% of those receiving explicitly unpaired stimuli reported a stimulus contingency, although none existed. This provides support for EBCC as a nondeclarative learning form.
