One of the mechanisms proposed to underpin perceptual learning is the reduction in salience of predicted stimuli. This reduction is held to affect the representation of (conditioned) stimuli before they have been associated with motivationally meaningful consequences but may also affect (unconditioned) stimuli that automatically elicit responding. The purpose of this article is to review past findings and present new evidence of phenomena across a range of domains that are consistent with the idea that responses automatically triggered by stimulating events will be reduced by prediction. We argue that prediction-based attenuation may serve several adaptive functions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
有一种被提出的机制认为，感知学习的基础是降低预测刺激的显著性。这种降低被认为会影响（条件）刺激的表示，即使它们还没有与有动机意义的结果相关联，但也可能会影响自动引发反应的（非条件）刺激。本文的目的是回顾过去的发现，并提出一系列领域中与刺激事件自动触发的反应将因预测而减少的观点相一致的新证据。我们认为，基于预测的衰减可能具有多种适应性功能。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
