The neuromodulator dopamine is critically involved in different procedures of instrumental learning and working memory. Based on physiological data, the present study investigates the effects of dopamine on neural network behavior. We demonstrate that dopamine suppresses interference with previously learned patterns and may enable fast learning of new contingencies or associations in biologically significant contexts.
