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.

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 ...

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

Controlling the operating conditions in an operating room [PDF]
2014 11th International Conference on Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation (REV), 2014 In this paper, we describe the development of a module capable of controlling environmental conditions, personnel movement and management of other important parameters for an operating room (OR) or surgery block. The base of assembly uses a real-life small scale model trying to simulate the systematic functionality of an OR as well as its crucial ...

Aggregation Operators and the Lipschitzian Condition [PDF]
2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference, 2007 Lipschitzian and kernel aggregation operators with respect to the natural T-indistinguishability operator ET and their powers are studied. A t-norm T is proved to be ETLipschitzian, and is interpreted as a fuzzy point and a fuzzy map as well. Given an Archimedean t-norm T with additive generator t, the quasi-arithmetic mean generated by t is proved to ...

`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.

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 ...

Learning an operant conditioning task differentially induces gliogenesis in the medial prefrontal cortex and neurogenesis in the hippocampus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Circuit modification associated with learning and memory involves multiple events, including the addition and remotion of newborn cells trough adulthood.

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.
