Teaching Tracheostomy Tube Changes: Comparison of Operant Learning Versus Traditional Demonstration

open access: yesOTO 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

open access: yesTechnologies, 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.

Semi-Automated Training of Rat Ultrasonic Vocalizations

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yesClassical 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.

Animal Training, Environmental Enrichment, and Animal Welfare: A History of Behavior Analysis in Zoos

open access: yesJournal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2021
The modern zoo has been associated with two major behavioral welfare advances: (a) the use of training to increase voluntary husbandry care, and (b) the implementation of environmental enrichment to promote naturalistic behaviors.

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 Self-medication for Assessment of Spontaneous Pain Relief and Drug Abuse Liability in Mouse Models of Chronic Pain

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2022
The search for safe and efficient chronic pain treatments is dampened by the lack of reliable models that faithfully reproduce current pharmacological treatments for chronic spontaneous pain in humans.

Obstacle Avoidance by Means of an Operant Conditioning Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
This paper describes the application of a model of operant conditioning to the problem of obstacle avoidance with a wheeled mobile robot. The main characteristic of the applied model is that the robot learns to avoid obstacles through a learning-by-doing
