Conditioning, Operant
Research News and Information
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.

Analgesia accompanying food consumption requires ingestion of hedonic foods.
12 Oct 2009 
Animals eat rather than react to moderate pain. Here, we examined the behavioral, hedonic, and neural requirements for ingestion analgesia in ad libitum fed rats. Noxious heat-evoked withdrawals were similarly suppressed during self-initiated ... Read more...
29 Sep 2009 The capability of cocaine cues to generate craving in cocaine-dependent humans, even after extended abstinence, is modeled in rats using cue reinstatement of extinguished cocaine-seeking behavior. We investigated neural activity associated with ... Read more...
Behaviorally measured audiograms and gap detection thresholds in CBA/CaJ mice.
29 Sep 2009 Tone detection and temporal gap detection thresholds were determined in CBA/CaJ mice using a Go/No-go procedure and the psychophysical method of constant stimuli. In the first experiment, audiograms were constructed for five CBA/CaJ mice. Thresholds ... Read more...
