Teaching Tracheostomy Tube Changes: Comparison of Operant Learning Versus Traditional Demonstration
OTO Open, 2023 Objective Tracheostomy tube change is a multistep skill that must be performed rapidly and precisely. Despite the critical importance of this skill, there is wide variation in teaching protocols.

Neural Operant Conditioning as a Core Mechanism of Brain-Machine Interface Control
Technologies, 2016 The process of changing the neuronal activity of the brain to acquire rewards in a broad sense is essential for utilizing brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), which is essentially operant conditioning of neuronal activity.

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

Semi-Automated Training of Rat Ultrasonic Vocalizations
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 Rats produce ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) for conspecific communication. These USVs are valuable biomarkers for studying behavioral and mechanistic changes in a variety of diseases and disorders. Previous work has demonstrated operant conditioning can

`Operational' energy conditions [PDF]
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 1998 I show that a quantized Klein-Gordon field in Minkowski space obeys an `operational' weak energy condition: the energy of an isolated device constructed to measure or trap the energy in a region, plus the energy it measures or traps, cannot be negative.

Dogs’ Body Language Relevant to Learning Achievement
Animals, 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.

Dorsal-CA1 hippocampal neuronal ensembles encode nicotine-reward contextual associations [PDF]
, 2017 Natural and drug rewards increase the motivational valence of stimuli in the environment that, through Pavlovian learning mechanisms, become conditioned stimuli that directly motivate behavior in the absence of the original unconditioned stimulus.
