The effects of caffeine on operant behavior in the Mongolian gerbil
Caffeine 2 The present study looks at the effects of stomach loads of caffeine on operant behavior in Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). Four male and four female gerbils were trained to a fixed interval schedule of 30 seconds with Nayes 4.5 mg rodent pellets used for reinforcement. A data collection and analysis package for Apple computers was used to measure the post-reinforcement res...
متن کاملOperant Conditioning
O Definition Primarily a feature of certain sentences, e.g., of many ascriptions of propositional attitudes. The truth of such ascriptions does not systematically depend on the truth or falsity of the proposition involved. Consider the following two belief-ascriptions: “Mary believes that 1 + 1 = 2” and “Mary believes that 2756 + 488 = 3244.” Even though both propositions (“1 + 1 = 2” and “2756...
متن کاملOperant conditioning
Operant behavior is behavior "controlled" by its consequences. In practice, operant conditioning is the study of reversible behavior maintained by reinforcement schedules. We review empirical studies and theoretical approaches to two large classes of operant behavior: interval timing and choice. We discuss cognitive versus behavioral approaches to timing, the "gap" experiment and its implicatio...
متن کاملPlacental Development in the Mongolian Gerbil
Early gerbil development was studied from days 4 through 12 of gestation. Implantation occurs on day 8 in a shallow antimesometrial implantation crypt. The proamniotic cavity forms from an invagination of basal trophoblast and a folding together of the rim of the cup thus produced. The approximation of this rim gives rise to the ectoplacental cone. The further development and expansion of the e...
متن کاملOperant conditioning in invertebrates.
Learning to anticipate future events on the basis of past experience with the consequences of one's own behavior (operant conditioning) is a simple form of learning that humans share with most other animals, including invertebrates. Three model organisms have recently made significant contributions towards a mechanistic model of operant conditioning, because of their special technical advantage...
