Temporally Discriminated Operant Responding in Fish
In Experiment 1, groups of 10 goldfish and of 10 grey mullet were trained to press a lever for food under a fixed, daily, light cycle. The periods during which responses were reinforced were restricted to two, 1-hr periods in every 24 hrs. These periods occurred at the same time each day. Responses were coordinated with the temporal contingencies of the schedule, and this pattern persisted for ...
متن کاملDifferences in acquisition of discrete lever-press and shuttle avoidance responses in 6 strains of mice.
Characteristics of the acquisition processes of discrete lever-press and shuttle avoidance responses (intertrial interval = 25 sec, warning duration = 5 sec with an escape contingency, and 1 session = 1 hr training/day) as well as those of the ambulatory activity were investigated in 6 strains of mice (dd, ICR, BALB/c, C57BL/6, C3H/He and DBA/2). In the lever-press avoidance situation, the dd, ...
متن کاملEffects of Psychotropic Agents on Extinction of Lever-Press Avoidance in a Rat Model of Anxiety Vulnerability
Avoidance and its perseveration represent key features of anxiety disorders. Both pharmacological and behavioral approaches (i.e., anxiolytics and extinction therapy) have been utilized to modulate avoidance behavior in patients. However, the outcome has not always been desirable. Part of the reason is attributed to the diverse neuropathology of anxiety disorders. Here, we investigated the effe...
متن کاملLoss of lever press-related firing of rat striatal forelimb neurons after repeated sessions in a lever pressing task.
Lateral striatal neurons that fire phasically in relation to active movement of the contralateral forelimb (determined via daily sensorimotor examination) were studied during acquisition of cued lever pressing. Rats were trained to lift the contralateral forepaw from the floor to press a lever in the presence of a tone. The tone was presented 70 times per day (session) for 18 consecutive days. ...
متن کاملA comparison of the effects of pimozide and nonreinforcement on discriminated operant responding in rats.
Some controversy surrounds the interpretation of the effects of dopamine receptor blocking drugs on conditioned operant responding. To assess the motoric versus the reinforcement-reducing consequences of these compounds, the effects of pimozide (1.0 mg/kg) and nonreinforcement on discriminated operant responding were compared. Rats were trained extensively on a successive discrimination impleme...
