Nesha Burghardt and I will be chairing a symposium on The Generalization of Learning this coming Saturday at the Pavlovian conference in Milwaukee. We are looking forward to all the interesting ways the speakers think about generalization in their work:

Jelena Radulovic: “Retrieval-based generalization of aversive conditioning”

Larry Zweifel: “The role of dopamine in threat generalization”

Maria Geffen: “A cortico-thalamic circuit for learning generalization”

Joey Dunsmoor: “Latent associative structures facilitate higher-order transfer of learned fear”

The conference is packed with wonderful talks and symposia on the interactions between stress and learning, social and appetitive learning, habit formation, safety learning, effects of drugs and alcohol on learning and memory, learning about context, and on!
