"This book contains the presentations given during the Duke Symposium on Computational Models of Conditioning, which took place between May 15th and May 17th of 2009 at the Duke Campus in Durham, N.C."--Introd. Includes bibliographical references and index. "Since first described, multiple properties of classical conditioning have been discovered, establishing the need for mathematical models to help explain the defining features. The mathematical complexity of the models puts our understanding of their workings beyond the ability of our intuitive thinking and makes computer simulations irreplaceable. The complexity of the models frequently results in function redundancy; a natural property of biologically evolved systems that is much desired in technologically designed products. Experts in the field provide the latest advancements and present |
