Anxiety disorders affect a large portion of the population. While standard treatments show efficacy, rates of treatment non-response and relapse highlight the need to augment existing treatments or ...

Prior work suggests that positive affect can have a significant impact on fear-related learning. The neural circuit mechanisms that allow stimuli with positive attributes to impact fear processing ...

Classical conditioning, also called Pavlovian conditioning or respondent conditioning, is learning through association. This behavioral learning method was first studied in the late 19th century by ...

Classical conditioning is a type of unconscious learning. It occurs when a person or animal experiences an automatic response whenever they encounter a specific stimulus. Simply put, it is learning ...

Abstract: Reinforcement, extinction, generalization and differentiation are all basic principles of Pavlov associative memory. Most memristive neural networks that simulate associative memory only ...

The neurobiology of extinction learning has been translated to inform the delivery of exposure therapy, the gold-standard treatment for fear and anxiety disorders. The inhibitory retrieval model ...

Overview: My research interests focus on understanding the behavioral and neural mechanisms that guide learning about the world around us. My work has sought to answer questions pertaining to two ...

Classical conditioning is a type of learning that happens unconsciously. When you learn through classical conditioning, an automatic conditioned response is paired with a specific stimulus. This ...
