“…As mentioned above, the study by Lee and Lovibond (2021) provided a more nuanced view of the distinction between conditioned inhibition and negative occasion setting. In a similar vein, Papini et al (2006;2022) have suggested a common mechanism for learning from reward omission and from reward loss.…”

“…Recent studies across several laboratories have aimed to assess whether there is a relationship between indices of conditioned inhibition and preference for a poor but informative probabilistic alternative. The relevance of this field lies in the assumption that suboptimal preference is analogous to gambling behavior in humans (Zentall, 2022), which in excess is potentially harmful to the affected person or to others. Early studies found that when low levels of inhibition were observed animals showed higher degrees of preference for the suboptimal alternative (Laude et al, 2014) and vice versa (Trujano et al, 2016).…”

Inhibition can be defined as a phenomenon in which an agent prevents or suppresses a behavioral state that would otherwise occur. Associative learning studies have extensively examined how experiences shape the acquisition of inhibitory behavioral tendencies across many species and situations. Associative inhibitory phenomena can be studied at various levels of analysis. One could focus on the trajectory of behavioral change involved in learning from negative statistical associations between discrete events (inhibitory learning). Alternatively, one could be interested in the effects of accumulated experience with those negative associations (conditioned inhibition). One could rather be interested in how organisms implement what they learn through experiences involving negative associations (response inhibition). Yet one could inquire into how the capacity of learning negative associations and performing accordingly varies between individuals and along time for the same individual (inhibitory control). This paper presents a tentative taxonomy addressing different levels of analysis of associative inhibitory phenomena by using different terms for each. In addition, recent evidence and certain unresolved issues at each level are thoroughly scrutinized and contrasted with prior findings. The empirical and theoretical advances made by modeling inhibition as an associative learning phenomenon have provided scaffolds for the current knowledge and emerging accounts of the topic. Some of those emerging accounts have the potential to bridge different levels of analysis and foster "cross-pollination" of ideas among broad fields beyond associative learning.
