The releaser-induced recognition learning model (Suboski, 1990) is briefly introduced and examined in the context of a review of the extensive literature on learning by gastropod molluscs. Substantial involvement of learning processes were found to occur in the acquisition of food and environmental hazard recognition. These findings are consistent with a learning model in which releasing stimuli activate a stimulus-substitution mechanism that induces recognition of otherwise biologically inert stimuli. According to this model, simple recognition learning by molluscs basically consists of the stimulus redirection of innately-organized released responses. A releasing stimulus activates transfer of control over release of responses from the releasing stimulus to an initially-neutral stimulus, typically a temporal predictor of the releasing stimulus. The model offers a simple, parsimonious, and comprehensive account of molluscan learning that integrates Pavlovian and at least simple instrumental conditioning as well as providing a potential explanatory mechanism if intriguing indicators of social communication of food recognition by gastropods were to be substantiated.
在对腹足纲软体动物学习的大量文献进行综述的背景下，简要介绍并审视了释放者诱导的识别学习模型（Suboski，1990）。研究发现，学习过程在获取食物和识别环境危害中大量参与。这些发现与一种学习模型一致，在该模型中，释放刺激激活了一种刺激替代机制，该机制诱导对原本无生物学活性的刺激的识别。根据该模型，软体动物的简单识别学习基本上包括对先天组织的释放反应的刺激重定向。释放刺激激活了对反应释放的控制从释放刺激转移到最初中性的刺激，通常是释放刺激的时间预测器。该模型为软体动物学习提供了一个简单、简约且全面的解释，整合了巴甫洛夫条件反射和至少简单的工具性条件反射，并且如果腹足纲动物食物识别的社会交流的有趣指标得到证实，还提供了一种潜在解释机制。
