Stimulus sampling as an exploration mechanism for fast reinforcement learning.

8 Apr 2009 Reinforcement learning in neural networks requires a mechanism for exploring new network states in response to a single, nonspecific reward signal. Existing models have introduced synaptic or neuronal noise to drive this exploration. However, those ...

Improving social initiations in young children with autism using reinforcers with embedded social interactions.

7 Apr 2009 Children with autism often exhibit low levels of social engagement, decreased levels of eye contact, and low social affect. However, both the literature and our direct clinical observations suggest that some components of intervention procedures may ...

Effects of lesions of the nucleus accumbens core on inter-temporal choice: further observations with an adjusting-delay procedure.

7 Apr 2009 Previous experiments using progressive-delay schedules showed that destruction of the nucleus accumbens core (AcbC) altered rats' choice between food reinforcers differing in size and delay. Application of a quantitative model of inter-temporal ...

A framework for managing wandering and preventing elopement.

6 Apr 2009 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: A framework aids choice of interventions to manage wandering and prevent elopement in consideration of associated risks and mobility needs of wanderers. DESIGN AND METHODS: A literature review, together with research results, ...

Gray's Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory as a framework for research on personality-psychopathology associations.

5 Apr 2009 Gray's Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) presupposes individual differences in the sensitivity of basic brain systems that respond to punishing and reinforcing stimuli. These differences are thought to underlie the personality dimensions of ...

Responding maintained by primary reinforcing visual stimuli is increased by nicotine administration in rats.

3 Apr 2009 Nicotine has been shown to increase responding maintained by turning off a houselight. To examine whether this effect extends to other primary reinforcing visual stimuli, the present study assessed whether nicotine would increase responding ...

Exploiting co-adaptation for the design of symbiotic neuroprosthetic assistants.

3 Apr 2009 The success of brain-machine interfaces (BMI) is enabled by the remarkable ability of the brain to incorporate the artificial neuroprosthetic 'tool' into its own cognitive space and use it as an extension of the user's body. Unlike other tools, ...

Adaptive learning via selectionism and Bayesianism, Part II: the sequential case.

3 Apr 2009 Animals increase or decrease their future tendency of emitting an action based on whether performing such action has, in the past, resulted in positive or negative reinforcement. An analysis in the companion paper [Zhang, J. (2009). Adaptive ...

Effects of the MCH1 receptor antagonist SNAP 94847 on high-fat food-reinforced operant responding and reinstatement of food seeking in rats.

31 Mar 2009 RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The melanin-concentrating hormone 1 (MCH1) receptors play an important role in home-cage food consumption in rodents, but their role in operant high-fat food-reinforced responding or reinstatement of food seeking in animal ...

Actions of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol in cannabis: relation to use, abuse, dependence.

30 Mar 2009 Cannabis use disorders have been recently identified as a relevant clinical issue: a subset of cannabis smokers seeks treatment for their cannabis use, yet few succeed in maintaining long-term abstinence. The rewarding and positive reinforcing ...
