Learned avoidance of flavors signaling reduction in a nutrientRobert A Boakes
School of Psychology, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia
J Exp Psychol Anim Behav Process 36:117-25. 2010....
Expression of flavor preference depends on type of test and on recent drinking historyRobert A Boakes
School of Psychology, University of Sydney, Syndey, NSW, Australia
J Exp Psychol Anim Behav Process 33:327-38. 2007..These results indicate that flavor preferences can be resistant to extinction procedures but suggest that the expression of such preferences in choice tests depends on an adaptation-level process...- The impact of Pavlov on the psychology of learning in English-speaking countriesRobert A Boakes
School of Psychology, University of Sydney, NSW 2009
Span J Psychol 6:93-8. 2003..Nevertheless, many of the issues addressed by this research were ones that Pavlov had been the first to raise, so that his major influence can be seen as that of defining a research program for subsequent students of learning... - Self-starvation in the rat: running versus eatingRobert A Boakes
School of Psychology A18, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia
Span J Psychol 10:251-7. 2007..The general implications of this research are examined, including whether it provides a useful animal model for human anorexia nervosa... - The role of drinking in the suppression of food intake by recent activityR A Boakes
Department of Psychology, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
Behav Neurosci 115:718-30. 2001..These results indicate the importance of drinking when analyzing the effect of recent activity on food intake... - Sex differences in the relationship between activity and weight loss in the ratR A Boakes
Department of Psychology, University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Behav Neurosci 113:1080-9. 1999..In all rats, rapid recovery of body weight occurred when food access was no longer restricted (Experiment 1), suggesting that "activity-based anorexia" is a misnomer for weight loss by rats in a running wheel... - Persistence of acquired changes in the properties of odors and flavors for both humans and ratsR A Boakes
University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia
Chem Senses 30:i238-9. 2005 - Confusing tastes and smells: how odours can influence the perception of sweet and sour tastesR J Stevenson
Department of Psychology, Macquarie University, NSW 2109, Australia
Chem Senses 24:627-35. 1999..The overall pattern of results is consistent with an explanation of the taste properties of odours in terms of prior flavour-taste associations... - Flavor preferences produced by backward pairing with wheel runningSarah C Hughes
School of Psychology, University of Sydney, Australia
J Exp Psychol Anim Behav Process 34:283-93. 2008..These results show that whether an aversion or preference for a flavor is produced by wheel running depends on an interaction between prior wheel experience and the sequence of events... - Acquired flavour preferences: contextual control of adaptation-level effectsLucy Albertella
University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove) 61:227-31. 2008..These results suggest that the perceived sweetness of a flavour depends on the context in which it is presented and confirm that expression of a flavour preference depends on the type of test employed... - Weight loss in rats produced by running: effects of prior experience and individual housingR A Boakes
Department of Psychology, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia
Q J Exp Psychol B 50:129-48. 1997..It was concluded that ABA results from activity-induced reduction of feeding, which prolongs adaptation to a new feeding schedule and is accentuated by social isolation... - Perceived treatment, feedback, and placebo effects in double-blind RCTs: an experimental analysisBen Colagiuri
School of Psychology A18, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 208:433-41. 2010..In double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCT) of therapeutic interventions, the effects of the treatment may provide feedback that undermines blinding and consequently distorts measures of the effectiveness of the intervention... - Maintenance of responding when reinforcement becomes delayedDaniel S J Costa
School of Psychology, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
Learn Behav 35:95-105. 2007..By measuring magazine entry (goal tracking) as well as lever pressing (sign tracking) in Experiment 4, we confirmed that such transfer effects at least partly involve the persistence of whatever type of behavior was initially dominant... - Second-order conditioning in human predictive judgements when there is little time to thinkDanielle M Karazinov
School of Psychology, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove) 60:448-60. 2007.... - The effectiveness of inhibitors in human predictive judgments depends on the strength of the positive predictorDanielle M Karazinov
School of Psychology, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Learn Behav 32:348-59. 2004..Overall, the results were consistent with associative learning theories, especially Pearce's (1994) configural model. Contingency models need to make additional assumptions to accommodate this property of inhibitory learning... - Context dependency of conditioned aversions to water and sweet tastesR A Boakes
Department of Psychology, University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
J Exp Psychol Anim Behav Process 23:56-67. 1997..In conclusion, depending on the conditioning procedures, contextual control of a taste aversion can be independent of the context's Pavlovian properties... - Persistence of conditioned flavor preferences is not due to inadvertent food reinforcementLucy Albertella
School of Psychology, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
J Exp Psychol Anim Behav Process 32:386-95. 2006..An important finding was that varying the delay until food access had no detectable effect. It was concluded that inadvertent flavor-food associations do not maintain preference for the flavor under extinction conditions... - Resistance to extinction of conditioned odor perceptions: evaluative conditioning is not uniqueR J Stevenson
Department of Psychology, Macquarie University, New South Wales, Australia
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 26:423-40. 2000..However, these results suggest that resistance to extinction in odors is related to the way they are encoded rather than to their hedonic properties... - Outcome additivity, elemental processing and blocking in human causality judgementsEvan J Livesey
University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
Q J Exp Psychol B 57:361-79. 2004..While these experiments do not rule out the role of inference in causal judgement tasks, the results are most parsimoniously explained by associative accounts that allow flexibility in the encoding of compound cues... - Learning about cues that prevent an outcome: conditioned inhibition and differential inhibition in human predictive learningDanielle M Karazinov
School of Psychology, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia
Q J Exp Psychol B 57:153-78. 2004.... - Extinction of conditioned taste aversions: effects of concentration and overshadowingKathryn M Taylor
University of Sydney, Australia
Q J Exp Psychol B 55:213-39. 2002..No overshadowing was found when almond (an aqueous odour) was used in place of saline as the added stimulus, even when high concentrations of almond were used that produced observable neophobia (Experiments 5A and 5B)... 
From programmed instruction to pigeonsRobert A Boakes
Department of Psychology, University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
J Exp Anal Behav 77:374-6. 2002- Passive perceptual learning in relation to wine: short-term recognition and verbal descriptionAngus L Hughson
University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, NSW 2006, Australia
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove) 62:1-8. 2009..The major result was to demonstrate that untutored experience can improve wine recognition (passive perceptual learning)... - A mnemonic theory of odor perceptionRichard J Stevenson
Department of Psychology, Macquarie University, New South Wales, Australia
Psychol Rev 110:340-64. 2003..In this article, these findings are reviewed and a model that attempts to account for them is proposed. Finally, the model's consistency with both neurophysiological and neuropsychological data is examined... - High ambient temperature reduces rate of body-weight loss produced by wheel runningEmilio Gutierrez
Universidad de Santiago, Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove) 59:1196-211. 2006..Giving rats only 3 hr of wheel access each day at a neutral AT also produced substantial weight loss, but less if for the rest of each day they were maintained at a high AT (Experiment 4)...
