One of the most persisting assertions in Allan Wagner's view of conditioning is that the environment or context in which significant events occur can develop an association with these events, more or less in the same way as conditioned and unconditioned stimuli become associated with each other. He was drawn to this idea by evidence of contextual fear conditioning, contingency effects, some instances of context-specificity of long-term habituation, and latent inhibition. From a theoretical point of view, however, homologizing contexts to conditioned stimuli is not as simple as it seems, especially when quantitative theories are involved, as is the case of Wagner's work. It might be, for instance, that contexts cannot be represented merely as long-duration conditioned stimuli, in which case, no net contextual learning can occur due to the context being less correlated with reinforcement than with nonreinforcement. In this article, we use Wagner's sometimes-opponent-process model of conditioning to comment on the quantitative nature of this challenge. Also, based on an idea sketched by Mazur and Wagner, we describe a set of quantitative strategies that might be usefully considered to solve this dilemma within the general framework of Wagner's theory.

有时对手过程(SOP)模型的刺激过程假设可以解释情境学习的实例吗?

在艾伦·瓦格纳(Allan Wagner)关于调节的观点中,最持久的主张之一是,发生重大事件的环境或环境可以与这些事件建立关联,或多或少以与有条件和无条件的刺激彼此关联的方式发展。他通过情境恐惧条件,偶然性效应,长期习惯性的情境特异性和潜在抑制的证据吸引了这个想法。但是,从理论的角度来看,将环境与条件刺激同源化并不像看起来那样简单,尤其是在涉及定量理论的情况下,就像瓦格纳的作品一样。举例来说,可能无法将情境仅表示为长期条件刺激,在这种情况下,由于上下文与强化的相关性比非强化的相关性低,因此无法进行净的上下文学习。在本文中,我们使用瓦格纳(Wagner)有时是反对者的条件处理模型来评论此挑战的定量性质。同样,基于Mazur和Wagner的构想,我们描述了一套定量策略,可以在Wagner理论的一般框架内有效地解决这一难题。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。我们描述了一套定量策略,可以在瓦格纳理论的一般框架内有效地解决这一难题。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。我们描述了一套定量策略,可以在瓦格纳理论的一般框架内有效地解决这一难题。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。
