Operant evaluative conditioning. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 2019 Two experiments investigated an evaluative transfer from actions producing pleasant and unpleasant outcomes to novel stimuli that were assigned to those actions in a subsequent stimulus-response task. Results showed that a fictitious social group was liked more when this group was assigned to the action previously associated with pleasant outcomes ...

Volitional enhancement of firing synchrony and oscillation by neuronal operant conditioning: interaction with neurorehabilitation and brain-machine interface [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014 In this review, we focus on neuronal operant conditioning in which increments in neuronal activities are directly rewarded without behaviors. We discuss the potential of this approach to elucidate neuronal plasticity for enhancing specific brain ...

Cockroaches Show Individuality in Learning and Memory During Classical and Operant Conditioning
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Animal personality and individuality are intensively researched in vertebrates and both concepts are increasingly applied to behavioral science in insects.

Low-dimensional signatures of neuronal activity associated with long-term operant conditioning in Aplysia [PDF]
Communications BiologyOperant conditioning is a form of learning in which a behavior is reinforced by reward. Operant conditioning has multiple temporal domains, ranging from short-term, lasting a few minutes, to long-term, persisting for at least 24 h.

Operant Conditioning in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.): The Cap Pushing Response. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The honey bee has been an important model organism for studying learning and memory. More recently, the honey bee has become a valuable model to understand perception and cognition. However, the techniques used to explore psychological phenomena in honey

Animals, 2013 Animal training relies heavily on an understanding of species-specific behaviour as it integrates with operant conditioning principles. Following on from recent studies showing that affective states and arousal levels may correlate with behavioural ...

How Much of Language Acquisition Does Operant Conditioning Explain?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Since the 1950s, when Chomsky argued that Skinner’s arguments could not explain syntactic acquisition, psychologists have generally avoided explicitly invoking operant or instrumental conditioning as a learning mechanism for language among human children.

Study of Melipona quadrifasciata brain under operant learning using proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023 Learning to anticipate events based on the predictive relationship between an action and an outcome (operant conditioning) is a form of associative learning shared by humans and most of other living beings, including invertebrates.

Annual Review of Psychology, 2003 Operant behavior is behavior “controlled” by its consequences. In practice, operant conditioning is the study of reversible behavior maintained by reinforcement schedules. We review empirical studies and theoretical approaches to two large classes of operant behavior: interval timing and choice.
