Pavlovian-instrumental transfer
[edit]- ... that a classically conditioned stimulus can affect operant behavior and motivation through Pavlovian-instrumental transfer?
"This paper reviews one of the experimental paradigms used to study the effects of cues, the Pavlovian to Instrumental Transfer paradigm. In this paradigm, cues associated with rewards through Pavlovian conditioning alter motivation and choice of instrumental actions."

- Comment: This is my first DYK nomination. ALT1 is slightly more precise, but less accessible to a general audience.

The lead is too long and the lead should summarize the article. Maybe work the lead into sections. The Dieting section is blank. The end of the Addiction section is unreferenced, but it is strangely a copyvio of this YouTube video description. SL93 (talk) 05:54, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- @SL93: I've moved the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of the lead under a new level 2 heading; the original 1st lead paragraph adequately summarizes the article text as is.
The youtube video that you linked to is actually a copyvio of what I wrote in the motivational salience article prior to the upload date of that video (e.g., see the revision of that article as of March 2016; Wikipedia is supposed to be attributed when its content is republished externally, but the uploader clearly didn't do that.
I intend to expand the dieting section a little later since I don't have time right now. FWIW, three of the references in that article currently include a quote that mentions how PIT affects hunger and food consumption. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 06:16, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

- @SL93: I'm not sure if I'm supposed to comment on a nomination after it's been accepted, but I figured I'd mention that I just expanded the dieting section with what was quoted in the existing refs. I don't really have much time to sift through what I read earlier and expand this section further until next month because I'm extremely busy off-wiki at the moment.
