Editorial: Pavlovian-instrumental transfer: Neurobehavioral and clinical findings

[...]Panayi and Killcross revealed that the latter can be disrupted when the manipulation lowering food value also reduces the capacity of a stimulus to retrieve information about its predicted outcome. [...]Kim et al. demonstrates for the first time how general and specific PIT can be observed in the aversive domain and reveal their reliance on activity in the central amygdala. [...]a paper reporting an analysis of computational and representational elements that drive PIT in humans (Degni et al.) established procedures that isolate different forms of the transfer effect. [...]this study showed that general motivation effects are obtained under a variety of associative conditions.
