  • Title: Control of instrumental performance by Pavlovian and instrumental stimuli.
    Author: Rescorla RA.
    Journal: J Exp Psychol Anim Behav Process; 1994 Jan; 20(1):44-50. PubMed ID: 8308492.
    Abstract:
    Two experiments used rats to examine the transfer of control of a stimulus to a new instrumental response. That transfer was successful to the degree that the stimulus and the response shared a common outcome. The transfer was more substantial, however, when the stimulus signaled the availability of that outcome for another instrumental response compared with signaling its occurrence in a Pavlovian manner. That result suggests that the stimulus-outcome associations formed during instrumental training are not reducible to a Pavlovian association.
