Saliences, propositions, and amalgams: Emergent learning in nonhumans
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 April 2009
Abstract
We comment on the similarities and differences of Mitchell et al.'s framework for understanding classical and operant conditioning and the theoretical framework put forth by Rumbaugh et al. (2007). We propose that all nonhuman and human learning may be based on amalgams created by co-occurring stimuli that share their response-eliciting properties and that these amalgams may be propositional in nature.
