Conditioning, Operant - Research News and Information
Saturday, July 04, 2009
Definition of 'Conditioning, Operant'Learning situations in which the sequence responses of the subject are instrumental in producing reinforcement. When the correct response occurs, which involves the selection from among a repertoire of responses, the subject is immediately reinforced. Common names: Conditioning, Operant; Learning, Instrumental; Instrumental Learnings; Learnings, Instrumental; Operant Conditioning; Conditionings, Operant; Operant Conditionings; Instrumental Learning |
Gender differences in delay-discounting under mild food restriction.
6 Jun 2009 
Impulsivity, a core symptom of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is tested in animal models by delay-discounting tasks. So far, mainly male subjects have been used in this paradigm at severe levels of food restriction. Here we ... Read more...
Rat prefrontal cortical neurons selectively code strategy switches.
Jun 2009 Multiple memory systems are distinguished by different sets of neuronal circuits and operating principles optimized to solve different problems across mammalian species (Tulving and Schacter, 1994). When a rat selects an arm in a plus maze, for ... Read more...
Stress prompts habit behavior in humans.
Jun 2009 Instrumental behavior can be controlled by goal-directed action-outcome and habitual stimulus-response processes that are supported by anatomically distinct brain systems. Based on previous findings showing that stress modulates the interaction of ... Read more...
