Behavior analysis and behavioral neuroscience
نویسنده
چکیده
Behavior analysis—the science of adaptive behavior—focuses on behavior as a subject matter in its own right, not as an index of cognitive events, and is, thus, not dualistic. Behavior analysis incorporates several laws of learning discovered by researchers using single-subject experimental designs. I argue that behavior analysis can provide neuroscientists with an experimental and a theoretical framework within which to investigate the neural bases of behaviors, including those that are usually described in cognitive terms.

متن کاملP141: Role of Dopamine in Anxiety Behavior
The mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system contains both D1-like and D2-like receptors, has been connected to control of locomotor behavior. An apparent role for D1 and D2 receptors throughout the mesolimbic system in the alteration of locomotor behavior has been demonstrated in pharmacological studies. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is comprised of a core and a shell subregion, which is a component of t...

Performance and development are based on hard work, experience and learning. Learning how to change different behaviors is crucial to successful talent management plans. Within the brain there are complex connected circuits that can identify threats. The brain reacts to change as a threat. There is also a collection of brain structures tied to a natural reward system that are involved in the re...
متن کاملThe Challenges of Integrating Behavioral and Neural Data: Bridging and Breaking Boundaries Across Levels of Analysis
We describe here two approaches introduced by Abrahamsen (1987) that can be used by behavior analysts to interpret neuroscientific data. The first is a “boundarybridging” approach aimed at understanding the interdisciplinary interactions between the behavioral and the neural levels of analysis while keeping the two domains independent. When presenting the boundary-bridging approach, we describe...
متن کاملComparison of pain behavior responses in two peripheral neuropathic models (SNI, CCI) in rat
Introduction: Peripheral nerve injury leads to neuropathic pain syndromes and different sensation like allodynia and hyperalgesia. Different animal models of neuropathic pain are used to study the neuropathic pain mechanisms. The present study was performed on two models, (SNI). The purpose of this study was comparing the behavioral responses of yhese two models and the role of saphenous and...
