| Abstract: | Dickinson (2009) agrees with two of the core claims that were made in my target article (De Houwer, 2009): Associative learning
effects (often) depend on (1) the formation of propositions and (2) the operation of nonautomatic processes. Whereas I derived
these claims from propositional models of learning, Dickinson (2009) argues that they are also compatible with association
formation models (AFMs). He also defends the position that only AFMs can explain “nonrational responses to associative experiences.”
In this comment, I question whether there is much value in continuing to cling to AFMs. |
