Cooperation in the iterated prisoner's dilemma is learned by operant conditioning mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The prisoner's dilemma (PD) is the leading metaphor for the evolution of cooperative behavior in populations of selfish agents. Although cooperation in the iterated prisoner's dilemma (IPD) has been studied for over twenty years, most of this research ...

Dogs’ Body Language Relevant to Learning Achievement

open access: yesAnimals, 2014
The facial expressions and body postures of dogs can give helpful information about their moods and emotional states. People can more effectively obedience train their dogs if we can identify the mannerisms associated with learning in dogs.

Operant conditioning in invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 2003
Learning to anticipate future events on the basis of past experience with the consequences of one’s own behavior (operant conditioning) is a simple form of learning that humans share with most other animals, including invertebrates. Three model organisms have recently made significant contributions towards a mechanistic model of operant conditioning ...
