Cockroaches Show Individuality in Learning and Memory During Classical and Operant Conditioning [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Animal personality and individuality are intensively researched in vertebrates and both concepts are increasingly applied to behavioral science in insects.

Placebo hypoalgesia induced by operant conditioning: a comparative study on the effects of verbal, token-based, and social rewards and punishers [PDF]

open access: yesScientific 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]

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Operant 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 Skinnerbots [PDF]

open access: yesAdaptive Behavior, 1997
Instrumental (or operant) conditioning, a form of animal learning, is similar to reinforcement learning (Watkins, 1989) in that it allows an agent to adapt its actions to gain maximally from the environment while being rewarded only for correct performance.

Operant conditioning of stochastic chemical reaction networks. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

High-throughput automated methods for classical and operant conditioning of Drosophila larvae [PDF]

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Learning which stimuli (classical conditioning) or which actions (operant conditioning) predict rewards or punishments can improve chances of survival.

Conceptualising the Impact of Arousal and Affective State on Training Outcomes of Operant Conditioning

open access: yesAnimals, 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 ...

Direct Pathway Neurons in the Mouse Ventral Striatum Are Active During Goal-Directed Action but Not Reward Consumption During Operant Conditioning [PDF]

open access: yesBiomedicines
Background/Objectives: Learning is classically modeled to consist of an acquisition period followed by a mastery period when the skill no longer requires conscious control and becomes automatic.

Machine Psychology: integrating operant conditioning with the non-axiomatic reasoning system for advancing artificial general intelligence research [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI
This paper presents an interdisciplinary framework, Machine Psychology, which integrates principles from operant learning psychology with a particular Artificial Intelligence model, the Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System (NARS), to advance Artificial General
