In a signal detection theory (SDT) approach to associative learning, one assumes that, when a subject is exposed to a flow of stimuli, an association is created between the internal representations of a cue and of an outcome, allowing the representation of the cue to activate the representation of the outcome. The outcome activation is a random variable drawn from a Gaussian distribution with mean m (sensitivity to the contingency) and standard deviation d (variability in outcome activation). Depending on whether the outcome activat
