Pollen elicits proboscis extension but does not reinforce PER learning in honeybees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The function of pollen as a reward for foraging bees is little understood, though there is evidence to suggest that it can reinforce associations with visual and olfactory floral cues.

Individual variability in behavioral flexibility predicts sign-tracking tendency

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
Sign-tracking rats show heightened sensitivity to food- and drug-associated cues, which serve as strong incentives for driving reward seeking. We hypothesized that this enhanced incentive drive is accompanied by an inflexibility when incentive value ...

Lower and Upper Conditioning in Quantum Bayesian Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Updating a probability distribution in the light of new evidence is a very basic operation in Bayesian probability theory. It is also known as state revision or simply as conditioning.

The Search for Invertebrate Consciousness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
There is no agreement on whether any invertebrates are conscious and no agreement on a methodology that could settle the issue. How can the debate move forward?

Second-order conditioning of fear [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Science, 1964
First-order classical fear conditioning trials (tone paired with shock) were interspersed with second-order classical conditioning trials (light paired with the tone). Subsequently, Ss (rats) learned to escape the light by jumping a hurdle. Comparison of this performance with that of two control groups allowed the conclusion that fear was conditioned ...

Examination of Eco-Behavioral Assessments Designed for Understanding Complex Behaviors and Environments. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Second-generation intervention research requires methods for overcoming challenges to understanding complex learning ecologies and interactions of students. Eco-behavioral assessments (EBAs) are one solution to past intervention research challenges. EBAs

Online modeling of virtual energy storage for inverter air conditioning clusters in CDL-based demand response

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2023
In recent years, the accelerated penetration of renewable energy hinders the flexible adjustment of power systems. Customer directrix load (CDL)-based demand response (DR) unlocks the potential flexibilities of inverter air conditioning in industrial or ...

The propositional nature of human associative learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The past 50 years have seen an accumulation of evidence suggesting that associative learning depends oil high-level cognitive processes that give rise to propositional knowledge.

Roles of octopaminergic and dopaminergic neurons in appetitive and aversive memory recall in an insect

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2009
Background In insect classical conditioning, octopamine (the invertebrate counterpart of noradrenaline) or dopamine has been suggested to mediate reinforcing properties of appetitive or aversive unconditioned stimulus, respectively. However, the roles of

Model-free reconstruction of neuronal network connectivity from calcium imaging signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A systematic assessment of global neural network connectivity through direct electrophysiological assays has remained technically unfeasible even in dissociated neuronal cultures. We introduce an improved algorithmic approach based on Transfer Entropy to
