Habit Formation in Active Avoidance
Kelsey J Burke · CUNY Academic Works (City University of New York) · 2018
Two studies explored feedback value in avoidance learning using rats. We show that limited, but not extended trained rats were sensitive to feedback devaluation via counterconditioning. Identical effects on motivational transfer were obtained. These results suggest that maladaptive avoidance may be established in a similar way to habits of consumption.
