- Cognition
His primary areas of investigation include Classical conditioning, Neuroscience, Reinforcement, Cognitive psychology and Fear conditioning.
His studies in Classical conditioning integrate themes in fields like Instrumental learning, Avoidance Conditioning and Cognitive science.
His Neuroscience research includes themes of Conditioned inhibition, Unconditioned stimulus and Conditioned Suppression.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stimulus control, Stimulus, Visual perception and Developmental psychology.
His Sensory preconditioning research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Measures of conditioned emotional response, Stimulus generalization, Second-order conditioning and Interstimulus interval.
The various areas that he examines in his Second-order conditioning study include PVLV and Rescorla–Wagner model.
His most cited work include:
- A theory of Pavlovian conditioning : Variations in the effectiveness of reinforcement and nonreinforcement (5764 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Robert A. Rescorla mainly focuses on Classical conditioning, Developmental psychology, Reinforcement, Stimulus and Neuroscience.
His research integrates issues of Extinction, Discrimination learning, Cognitive psychology and Fear conditioning in his study of Classical conditioning.
His Developmental psychology study which covers Stimulus control that intersects with Instrumental learning and Association.
His study in Reinforcement is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Rats sprague dawley and Shaping.
As part of the same scientific family, Robert A. Rescorla usually focuses on Stimulus, concentrating on Measures of conditioned emotional response and intersecting with Blocking effect.
His Neuroscience research focuses on Communication and how it connects with Conditional discrimination.
