High-Throughput Operant Conditioning in Drosophila Larvae
Operant conditioning is the process by which animals learn to associate their own behaviour with positive or negative outcomes, biasing future action selection in order to maximise reward and avoid punishment. It is an important strategy to ensure survival in an ever-changing environment. Although …

Changing a Student’s Classroom Behavior Using Operant Conditioning Techniques
This experiment was designed to extinguish a sixth grade boy's undesirable classroom behaviors by the complete withdrawal of teacher attention, and to develop and increase in successive approximations, the child's desirable classroom behaviors by frequent and intermittent teacher attention. The …

Operant Conditioning in the King Snake (<em>Lampropeltis getulus getulus</em>)
… reinforcement schedule. There was evidence of conditioning, extinction, and re-conditioning.</p> <p>Results of this study support the Kleinginna's results (1970)p that moulting decreased the conditioned response rate, but does not completely disrupt conditioning.</p>

Biophysical Model of Retraction Motor Neurons and Their Modification by Operant Conditioning
<p>Operant conditioning (OC) is a form of associative learning in which an animal modifies its behavior based on the consequences that follow that behavior. Despite its ubiquity, the underlying mechanisms of OC are poorly understood. Insights into the mechanisms of OC can be obtained by studying …

Operant conditioning in the regular classroom setting : a review of positive reinforcers
"Cette étude passe en revue les différents renforcements positifs utilisés dans les classes régulières des écoles. Bien que 1'utilisation des techniques du conditionnement opérant ne date que d'une dizaine d'années, leur emploi s'est avéré très efficace comme procédure thérapeutique. Ces techniques …

The Use of Operant Conditioning in Stroke Patients to Facilitate Relearning Dressing Skills
… This study was undertaken to explore the use of operant conditioning in teaching stabilized stroke patients to dress themselves and thus, increase their self-care independence. Social rewards (praise and attention) coupled with a dressing chart to provide feedback of progress, were the …

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 …

Operant Conditioning of Foot Thrusts in Infants and Concomitant Effects on Non-Reinforced Social Behaviors
… reinforced increase during the course of operant conditioning with infants. Specifically, smiling and cooing appear to emerge as the result of exposure to operant contingencies designed to increase motor responding. Previous studies have failed to gather objective data on this phenomenon. …

ACUTE STRESS, BUT NOT CORTICOSTERONE, FACILITATES ACQUISITION OF PAIRED ASSOCIATES LEARNING ASSESSED IN RATS USING TOUCHSCREEN-EQUIPPED OPERANT CONDITIONING CHAMBERS
Acute stress is well known to influence learning and memory tasks in humans and rodents, enhancing performance in some instances while impairing it in others. Across species, subjects preferentially employ striatal mediated stimulus-response strategies in spatial memory tasks following stress, …

Operant Procedures in the Auditory Assessment of "Difficult-To-Test" Individuals
… The present study investigated the use of operant conditioning procedures to determine hearing threshold levels with profoundly retarded individuals. Procedure. Three profoundly retarded individuals were trained to respond on an FR 2 or 3 schedule of reinforcement to puretone presentations …

A novel therapy to regain control of spinal motoneurons in stroke survivors
… H-reflex amplitude through exercise induced operant conditioning. To better understand the changes in the spinal cord associated with hemiplegic stroke, two important inhibitory spinal cord mechanisms, namely post activation depression (PAD) and Group I reciprocal inhibition (RI) were also …
