). Redundancy and blocking in the spatial domain: A connectionist model

How can the observations of spatial blocking (Rodrigo, Chamizo, McLaren
 & Mackintosh, 1997) and cue redundancy (OKeefe and Conway, 1978) be
 reconciled within the framework provided by an error-correcting,
 connectionist account of spatial navigation? I show that an...

Description
Summary:How can the observations of spatial blocking (Rodrigo, Chamizo, McLaren
 & Mackintosh, 1997) and cue redundancy (OKeefe and Conway, 1978) be
 reconciled within the framework provided by an error-correcting,
 connectionist account of spatial navigation? I show that an implementation
 of McLarens (1995) better beta model can serve this purpose, and examine
 some of the implications for spatial learning and memory.
