"Since first described, multiple properties of classical conditioning have been discovered, establishing the need for mathematical models to help explain the defining features. The mathematical complexity of the models puts our understanding of their workings beyond the ability of our intuitive thinking and makes computer simulations irreplaceable. The complexity of the models frequently results in function redundancy; a natural property of biologically evolved systems that is much desired in technologically designed products. Experts in the field provide the latest advancements and present detailed descriptions of how the models simulate conditioned behavior and its physiological bases, offering advanced students and researchers examples of how the models are used to analyze existing experimental results and to design future experiments. This volume is of great interest to psychologists and neuroscientists, as well as computer scientists and engineers searching for ideas applicable to the design of robots that mimic animal behavior"-- Provided by publisher.
