Three Ways That Non-associative Knowledge May Affect Associative Learning Processes
Three Ways That Non-associative Knowledge May Affect Associative Learning Processes is a scholarly work by Anna Thorwart, published in 2016 in ''Frontiers in Psychology''. The main subjects of the publication include cognitive psychology, learning, cognitive science, psychology, affect, cognition, theory of mind, and associativity. The paper thus explores possible ways in which non-associative knowledge may affect associative learning processes: (1) via changes to stimulus representations, (2) via changes to the translation of the associative expectation into behavior (3) via a shared source of expectation of the outcome that is sensitive to both the strength of associative retrieval and evaluation from non-associative influences.
