Negative Automaintenance Omission Training Is Effective

Abstract: Twelve pigeons were exposed to negative automaintenance contingencies for 17-27 sessions immediately after brief (14-16 sessions) or extended (168-237 sessions) exposure to positive automaintenance contingencies, or after 4-10 sessions of instrumental training. In all conditions, negative automaintenance contingencies virtually eliminated responding, reducing response rates to an average 1.3 responses per min. This reduction in response rate was validated by a model of transition between early and late respons… Show more

“…Specifically, functional variation between subjects in ventral striatum as they learned to predict erotic events could explain a stable tendency to acquire and reacquire financially-costly behaviour. Because this behaviour persisted despite the consequences, it resembled the myopic, 'model-free' Pavlovian behaviour observed in animal feeding (Williams and Williams 1969;Rosenthal and Matthews 1978;Locurto 1981;Domjan, Cusato et al 2000;Sanabria, Sitomer et al 2006), sexual and social behavior (Domjan, Cusato et al 2000). Our results therefore revive one classical perspective on the neurobiology of suboptimal decision-making: simple instinctive heuristics like 'approach things which predict reward' which were adaptive on average during natural selection can easily leave us vulnerable to exploitation.…”

“…Our task resembles both 'Pavlovian-instrumental-transfer' (PIT) paradigms and 'negative automaintenance' paradigms (Balleine 2005;Sanabria, Sitomer et al 2006;Talmi, Seymour et al 2008;Guitart-Masip, Talmi et al 2010;Prévost, Liljeholm et al 2012). The former paradigm entails separately training a passive Pavlovian cue-reward association and an instrumental action-reward association, then comparing responses in the presence versus absence of the 'irrelevant' Pavlovian cue in extinction.…”

“…Despite these findings, some researchers have questioned the role of Pavlovian (stimulus-stimulus) processes in sign-tracking behavior and have claimed that such behavior may be due to response reinforcement (e.g., see Farwell and Ayres, 1979;Locurto et al, 1976;Locurto, 1981;Myerson et al, 1979;Sanabria et al, 2006;Wessels, 1974). For example, after autoshaping training whereby rats developed a signtracking CR, Locurto and colleagues (1976) transferred the animals to an omission schedule.…”
