Topic: stimulus modality

This study explores the fundamental aspects of acquired equivalence learning, where equivalence develops between seemingly unrelated stimuli due to shared consequences. The Rutgers Acquired Equivalence Test (RAET) is a paradigm developed to investigate visually guided equivalence learning, consisting of a learning phase and a test phase. The basal ganglia-frontal cortex pathways play a key role in the learning phase, and the test phase is linked to the functions of the hippocampus-medial temporal lobe.We developed three additional learning tests that differ in the complexity or modality of the
