  • Title: Blocking of human causal learning involves learned changes in stimulus processing.
    Author: Le Pelley ME, Beesley T, Suret MB.
    Journal: Q J Exp Psychol (Hove); 2007 Nov; 60(11):1468-76. PubMed ID: 17853191.
    Abstract:
    Several theories of associative learning propose that blocking reflects changes in the processing devoted to learning about cues. The results of the only direct test of this suggestion in human learning (Kruschke & Blair, 2000) could equally well be explained in terms of, among others, interference in learning or memory. The present study tested this suggestion in a situation in which processing-change and interference accounts predict opposing results. Results support the idea that blocking in human learning can reflect a change in processing of the cues involved.
