The larval zebrafish is a promising vertebrate model organism to study neural mechanisms underlying learning and memory due to its small brain and rich behavioral repertoire. Here, we report on a high ...

Operant extinction is learning to supress a previously rewarded behavior. It is known to be strongly associated with the specific context in which it was acquired, which limits the therapeutic use of ...

WASHINGTON -- A competition held by the U.S. Army to find and develop new tools and concepts that can locate, track and trace different learning traits -- also known as "Brain Operant Learning ...

Abstract: This article presents a novel scheme, namely, an intermittent learning scheme based on Skinner’s operant conditioning techniques that approximates the optimal policy while decreasing the ...

Summary: Classical and operant conditioning compete in the brain, preventing simultaneous learning of conflicting actions. Using fruit flies, researchers demonstrated that attempting to teach both ...

tablet Operant learning may provide additional benefits compared with energy conservation in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. Operant learning may provide additional benefits compared with energy ...

Operant conditioning, sometimes called instrumental conditioning or Skinnerian conditioning, is a method of learning that uses rewards and punishment to modify behavior. Through operant conditioning, ...

Operant conditioning is the process of shaping behaviors using positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, or punishment. Reinforcement increases the likelihood that a behavior will be repeated, ...
