Avoidance learning in Drosophila melanogaster
… of showing that Drosophila are capable of learning an instrumental response would, with the information already known from genetic studies, enable researchers to possibly isolate the genetic basis of a simple learning process and thus gain greater insight into this phenomenon. If a reliable …

Avoidance learning to stimulus objects presented following shock
… was video recorded. Significant differential avoidance of the toy hedgehog occurred in the short inter stimulus interval groups (1, 5, and 10 sec.), but not in the 40 seCc group or in the control groups. In further analyses, individual’s were classified as differentially avoiding either the …

The Effect of Electroconvulsive Shock Following One-Trial Avoidance Learning in the Rat
… shock, following a footshock to condition an avoidance response, they will display initial retrograde amnesia and that this amnesia will diminish over time as manifested by recovery of the avoidance response; (2) This recovery is not a pure function of time but involves re-exposure to the …

Body Length, Activity Level, and Avoidance Learning in Zebrafish Exposed to Nicotine as Embryos
… of development: body length, activity level, and avoidance learning. Results showed that EN exposure caused a significant decrease in growth and a significant increase in activity level. Thus, the zebrafish responds to EN exposure in a manner similar to that observed in other models and in humans. …

Prey avoidance learning and neuronal elements mediating behavioral switching in the predatory sea-slug Pleurobranchaea californica
… stimuli by integrating sensory information, learning and motivational state. This study takes a neuroethological approach in investigating how the predatory sea-slug Pleurobranchaea californica makes behavioral choices. Pleurobranchaea is a predatory generalist that surveys its environment …

Neural Mediation of Instrumental Learning and Concurrent Discrimination
… neural mediation of instrumental discriminative learning. A great deal is known about the neural circuitry mediating discriminative avoidance learning, wherein rabbits learn to step in an activity wheel in order to avoid a footshock following one tone conditional stimulus (CS+) and they learn to …

Symbolic and semantic fear and avoidance generalisation in humans: An examination of boundary conditions and convergence with trait measures
… used personality, anxiety and experiential avoidance trait related measures provide any predictive utility in identifying observed levels of Pavlovian conditioning and the symbolic or semantic generalisation of fear and avoidance. A small number of previous studies had already attempted to …

An attempt to develop a laboratory model of superstitious learning of threat
… seminal (1948) explanation of superstitious learning as the result of accidental pairings of events, or adventitious conditioning. Contemporary human superstitious learning research (e.g. Matute, 1994, 1995) has demonstrated that non-contingent delivery of reinforcers can lead to illusion of …

NMDAR-PSD95-nNOS Axis-Mediated Molecular Mechanisms in the Basolateral Amygdala Underlying Fear Consolidation
… conserved response that can facilitate avoidance learning and promote survival, but excessive and persistent fear responses lead to development of phobias, generalized fear, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The primary goal of experiments in this dissertation is to determine the …

Relationship Between Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionaire (FABQ) Scores and Acute Low Back Pain Treatment
… into chronic pain, partly because of their fear-avoidance beliefs often resulting in them not returning to work (George, 2006; Pincus, 2002). The aims of this present study were as follows: a) to examine if FABQ risk criteria was significantly related to risk criteria with the ALBP algorithm; b) …

Characterization of memories and ignorant (S6KII) mutants in operant conditioning in the heat-box
Learning and memory processes of operant conditioning in the heat-box were analysed. Age, sex, and larval desity were not critical parameters influencing memory, while low or high activity levels of flies were negatively correlated with their performance. In a search for conditioning parameters …
