On aims and methods in the neuroimaging of derived relations

Article Abstract:

Neuroimaging studies of the derivation of emergent relations from a baseline set of trained relations and the phenomenon of transitive interference are reviewed, along with their aims and methods. The results indicate that the high technology of brain imaging requires the behavior scientist to join forces with scientists from several other disciplines, including not only neurophysiologists and physiologists, but also those (neuro) psychologists who are studying behavior from a cognitive perspective.

Integrating functional neuroimaging and human operant research: Brain activation correlated with presentation of discriminative stimuli

Article Abstract:

Brain activation to two types of discriminative stimuli correlated with different contingencies is examined by integrating operant and functional neuroimaging methodologies. The results demonstrate the utility of coupling operant and imaging technologies for investigating the neural substrates of operant learning in humans.

New knowledge derived from learned knowledge: Functional-anatomic correlates of stimulus equivalence

Article Abstract:

An investigation to examine if frontal-subcortical and frontal-parietal networks support reinforced conditional relations derived conditional relations is conducted. The results recognized that performing contrasts could never be theoretically neutral.
