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 ...

Placebo hypoalgesia induced by operant conditioning: a comparative study on the effects of verbal, token-based, and social rewards and punishers [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Operant conditioning was shown to be a mechanism of placebo hypoalgesia; however, only verbal rewards and punishers were applied in the previous study.

Temporal prediction error triggers amygdala-dependent memory updating in appetitive operant conditioning in rats [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023 Reinforcement learning theories postulate that prediction error, i.e., a discrepancy between the actual and expected outcomes, drives reconsolidation and new learning, inducing an updating of the initial memory.

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.

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

Operant conditioning of stochastic chemical reaction networks. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Adapting one's behavior to environmental conditions and past experience is a key trait of living systems. In the biological world, there is evidence for adaptive behaviors such as learning even in naturally occurring, non-neural, single-celled organisms.

Pain rewarded: hyperalgesic and allodynic effect of operant conditioning in healthy humans-protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Syst Rev, 2018 Background: "pain rewarded" is a hypothesis wherein acute pain sufferers are exposed to reinforcers and punishers from their environment that shape their behaviour, i.e. pain responses.
