Discriminative Avoidance Learning: A Model System

Discriminative learning occurs when particular stimuli predict outcomes important to the learner. Thus, for example, animals readily learn to obtain reward or to avoid pain in the presence of stimuli that predict the efficacy of responding, and they learn to remain inert in the presence of nonpredictive stimuli.
