My research focuses on how repeated experiences with pairings of a discrete object with a rewarding drug experience leads to the development of loss of self-control of drug-taking. The Pavlovian Sign-Tracking Model is a pre-clinical, animal learning model of the origins of loss of self-control of drug-taking as revealed by involuntary, reflexive, and cue-directed and cue-triggered skeletal-motor responding.
