Experimental Analysis of Operant Learning with Social Reinforcement in Mice
… reinforcement/reward (SR) procedures in which operant responses are reinforced by the opportunity to interact in some way with other members of the same species (conspecifics) have been developed to study operant social learning in nonhuman animals, particularly with rats. Interest and research …

The Effects of Nucleus Accumbens Opiate and Adenosine Receptor Activity on Appetitive Operant Learning
Learning is an important component of addiction and reward processes. Systemic manipulations of the opioid and adenosine receptor pathways influence learning in several different paradigms. Manipulations of both of these receptors within the nucleus accumbens affect motivational aspects of …

Matching treatment with recurrent abdominal pain symptoms: an evaluation of dietary fiber and relaxation treatments
… present study: the constipation model and the operant learning model. Subjects were assigned to either model based upon whether or not they presented with symptoms of constipation. The treatments derived from these two models were: daily dietary fiber supplements, and teaching children …

Computational Framework Enabling an EEG-based BCI for Neurofeedback in Language Disorders: The case of dyslexia
… technical, and scientific basis for an operant-learning EEG-BCI targeted at developmental language disorders. Here, the chosen developmental language disorder of focus was dyslexia, due to the availability in-house of pre-existing EEG datasets. The BCI targets the cognitive symptoms of …

Examination of potential elicitors of operant and respondent behaviors in smokers
<p>Research on operant learning principles suggests that discriminative stimuli, and negative and positive reinforcement play a role in the maintenance of smoking behavior. Smoking research from a respondent learning paradigm focuses on the role of environmental stimuli that function as elicitors …

Behavioural principles underlying navigational decision-making in Drosophila melanogaster larvae
… This facilitated the first observations of operant conditioning in the Drosophila larva in which the animal successfully adapted its casting behaviour following repeated coupling with reward presentation. Although operant learning occurs over a longer time scale than perhaps what is required …

Analysis of The Distributed Representation of Operant Memory In Aplysia
<p>Operant conditioning, a ubiquitous form of learning in which animals learn from the consequences of behavior, engages a high-dimensional neuronal population space spanning multiple brain regions. A complete characterization of an operant memory remains elusive. Some sites of plasticity …

Changing behaviour, ‘more or less’: Investigating whether there is a basis for designing different interventions for implementation and deimplementation.
… approach to report on the key findings. Results: Operant Learning Theory (OLT) proposes different approaches to increasing and decreasing behaviour changes and therefore implementation and de-implementation interventions (Studies 1 & 3), despite a number of commonly used theories being poor …

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 …

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 …
