Effects of response-independent stimulus delivery and functional communication training
… demonstrated to reduce problem behavior: response-independent stimulus delivery and differential reinforcement of an alternative behavior. This study examined whether the response-independent delivery of an alternative preferred stimulus and differential reinforcement of manding resulted …

Effects of Response-Independent Food Delivery During Timeout on Timeout Punishment
<p>Timeout is a signaled, response-dependent, and time limited period in which the prevailing schedule of reinforcement is suspended. Timeouts are one of the most frequently used punishment procedures in clinical and parental practices. Even though timeout is a common punishment practice, recent …

A Comparison of Response-Contingent and Response-Independent Autoshaping Trials In Rats
… Lepper and Petursdottir (2017) found that response-contingent pairings (RCP) were more effective than responseindependent pairings (RIP) in producing vocalizations in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). RIP procedures entail a time-based intertrial interval (ITI) followed by the …

Self-control as Response Produced Time-out from a Stimulus Associated with Reinforcement and Response Independent Shock
… (self-control) from a stimulus associated with response dependent food and response independent shock. Procedure: Five rats were trained in operant chambers to press a lever (lever A) for VI 30" food during one stimulus (S1) and never reinforced during another stimulus (S2). When responding …

Effects of Response-Independent Food Pellet Delivery on the Development of Tolerance to the Rate-Decreasing Effect of d-Amphetamine in Rats
The extent to which initial drug administration decreases the ability of an organism to obtain reinforcement can affect the development of behavioral tolerance. Environmental enrichment affects many drug-related phenomena, but its effects on the development of tolerance are not clear. The present …

An Evaluation of the Effects of Fixed-Time Schedules on Response Maintenance
Response-independent schedules of reinforcement (e.g., fixed-time schedules) have typically been shown to decrease the rate of responding. However, researchers have suggested that responses may maintain under response-independent schedules, although it is currently unclear as to what mechanisms are …

Effects of d -amphetamine and morphine on behavior maintained by fixed -interval schedules
… between keypecking maintained by FI 5-min, response-dependent clocked FI 5-min, and response-independent clocked FI 5-min components of a multiple schedule. In the response-dependent clocked FI component, each peck produced a stimulus change that was correlated with the passage of time, …

An 8-Step Program: Shaping and Fixed-Time Food Delivery Effects on Several Approximations and Undesired Responses in Goats.
… and 4 trial-terminating, or "undesirable," responses. Three La Mancha goats (Capra hircus) located at the Frank Buck Zoo in Gainesville, Texas were used for the study. A fixed-time 15 s (FT-15 s) was used during the baseline conditions, to examine the effects of response contingent and …

The relative contributions of preference and functionality in noncontingent reinforcement schedules
<p>Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR), the response-independent delivery of reinforcers, has been demonstrated to be an effective response suppression method for a variety of problem behaviors displayed by children. The purpose of the current study was to determine whether preference for specific …

Binaural Hearing Effects of Mapping Microphone Array's Responses to a Listener's Head-Related Transfer Functions
… focuses on the mapping of the microphone array’s response to match the characteristics of a human subject’s Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF). The mapping of the response is first explored with a ‘monaural HRTF matching’ that filters the response independent of the arrival angles. For …

The Effects of Pre-Trial Event Stimulus Properties on Timing in the Peak Interval Procedure
… the temporal location and type (i.e., cue alone, response-independent reinforcer alone, or cue and response-contingent reinforcer together) of the pre-trial event. An individual-trial analysis suggested that the type of stimulus event governs the extent of the shifts in middle time, with larger …

Cognitive and anatomical correlates of neglect for peripersonal and extrapersonal space

Elucidation of the Retinoid Signalling Pathway Involved in Axon Guidance in Lymnaea stagnalis and Xenopus laevis
… shown that RA can induce this morphological response independent of nuclear transcription, however, the role of the retinoid receptors in RA-induced chemoattraction is still unknown. Here, I show that the retinoid receptors, RXR and RAR, may mediate the growth cones response to the …

Unravelling the roles of the Mck1 kinase in metabolic reprogramming and the stress response
… regulates metabolic reprogramming and the stress response in response to glucose depletion. In the first result chapter (chapter 3), the functional conservation between the budding S. cerevisiae Mck1 and those from the pathogenic fungi was initially demonstrated. Following-up transcriptome studies …

Counteracting Neuroinvasive RNA Viruses: Antiviral and Immune Modulation Strategies Against SARS-CoV-2 and VEEV
The global response to the COVID-19 pandemic and our inability to mitigate spread of SARS-CoV-2 has highlighted areas of research that warrant further study. RNA viruses have since been at the forefront for pandemic and prevention preparedness due to their increased potential to cause future …

Regulation of type I interferons in murine dendritic cells
… of a spectrum of innate and adaptive immune responses. Type I interferons (IFNs), as important danger signals, activate cDCs through the canonical type I IFN receptor signaling. Type I IFNs are the first line of host defense against viral infection by up-regulating IFN-stimulated genes …
