TL;DR
This review brings to the attention of neuroscientists some of the current thinking of psychologists who study learning processes from a behavioral perspective and describes some properties of a carefully chosen example of learning that has dominated modern theorizing: Pavlovian conditioning.
Abstract
The brain's default mode network consists of discrete, bilateral and symmetrical cortical areas, in the medial and lateral parietal, medial prefrontal, and medial and lateral temporal cortices of the human, nonhuman primate, cat, and rodent brains. Its ...Read More

Psychological ReviewA model for Pavlovian learning: Variations in the effectiveness of conditioned but not of unconditioned stimuli.
2,985 Citations1980John M. Pearce, Geoffrey Hall
A new model is proposed that deals with the explanation of cases in which learning does not occur in spite of the fact that the conditioned stimulus is a signal for the reinforcer by specifying that certain procedures cause a conditioned stimulus to lose effectiveness.
Psychological ReviewA theory of attention: Variations in the associability of stimuli with reinforcement.
2,763 Citations1975N. J. Mackintosh
Overshadowing and blocking are better explained by the choice of an appropriate rule for changing a, such that a decreases to stimuli that signal no change from the probability of reinforcement predicted by other stimuli.
Psychonomic ScienceRelation of cue to consequence in avoidance learning
1,986 Citations1966John García, R. A. Koelling
An audiovisual stimulus was made contingent upon the rat’s licking at the water spout, thus making it analogous with a gustatory stimulus, which apparently stimuli are selected as cues dependent upon the nature of the subsequent reinforcer.

2 experiments indicate that CS-US contingency is an important determinant of fear conditioning and that presentation of US in the absence of CS interferes with fear conditioning.

The chapter discusses the multiple determinants of food selection in man that are divided into biological factors and effects of individual experience, on one hand, and cultural influences, on the other.

Physiological PsychologyErratum to: Formation of attentional-associative networks in real time: Role of the hippocampus and implications for conditioning
180 Citations1980John W. Moore, Kenneth J. Stickney
The function of the hippocampus in conditioning is portrayed in terms of an extension of Mackintosh’s (1975) attention theory, which describes the evolution of the salience of each stimulus in the situation, including the context, and its predictive associative relationship to itself and all other stimuli.

In this demonstration of what the authors referred to as "anxiety" effects, a warning stimulus of fixed duration followed by a brief unavoidable shock to the feet was superimposed upon ongoing lever-pressing behavior maintained by a fixed-interval reinforcement schedule.

This chapter discusses the origins of conditioned behavior and learning abilities of organisms in Pavlovian conditioning, which reveals an adaptive mechanism by which organisms adjust to relatively short-term variations in their environments, specifically relations among events.

Results indicate that US-induced differential orientations do not mediate the cue-consequence effect in aversion learning.
Quarterly Journal of Experimental PsychologyThe Acquisition of Conditioned Suppression as a Function of Interstimulus Interval Duration
30 Citations1974Anthony G. Yeo
The effect of interstimulus interval (ISI) variation on the acquisition of a classically conditioned emotional response was investigated using a one-trial conditioning procedure and control groups demonstrated that conditioning was not a function of either pseudoconditioning, sensitization or stimulus novelty.
