Reversal Learning
Basic Characteristics
- Description
Reversal learning is completion of a task based upon the reversal of discrimination of the two stimuli. The human or animal is trained to respond differentially to two stimuli through reward and punishment conditions. Then the human or animal is subsequently trained under reversed reward values. This means that the approach which was previously rewarded is punished and vice versa. Deficits in the frontostriatal circuits can be found through reversal learning tests and are connected with disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder.
