Pitts, Raymond C.; McKinney, A. Patrick – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2005
Four rats responded under a "self-control" procedure designed to obtain delay- discount functions within sessions. Each session consisted of seven blocks, with seven trials within each block. Each block consisted of two initial forced- choice trials followed by five free-choice trials. On choice trials, the rats could press either of two…

Garcia, Rene; Chang, Chun-hui; Maren, Stephen – Learning & Memory, 2006
Lesion studies indicate that rats without the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) have difficulty recalling fear extinction acquired the previous day. Several electrophysiological studies have also supported this observation by demonstrating that extinction-related increases in neuronal activity in the mPFC participate in expression of fear…

Kasai, Yoko; Watanabe, Satoshi; Kirino, Yutaka; Matsuo, Ryota – Learning & Memory, 2006
The terrestrial slug "Limax" has a highly developed ability to associate the odor of some foods (e.g., carrot juice) with aversive stimuli such as the bitter taste of quinidine solution. The procerebrum (PC) is a part of the slug's brain thought to be involved in odor-aversion learning, but direct evidence is still lacking. Here, the authors…

O'Carroll, Colin M.; Martin, Stephen J.; Sandin, Johan; Frenguelli, Bruno; Morris, Richard G. M. – Learning & Memory, 2006
The persistence of new memory traces in the hippocampus, encoded following appropriate activation of glutamatergic receptors and the induction of synaptic plasticity, can be influenced by heterosynaptic activation of neuromodulatory brain systems. We therefore investigated the effects of a hippocampus-specific blockade of dopamine D1/D5 receptors…

Kaufman, Donald G.; Oh, Bobbie S. – 1996
The focus of this manual is the timber wolf and its experience in the United States. The activities are designed to enable students to gain a factual understanding of the timber wolf, question any misinformation they have learned regarding wolves, and learn to appreciate the wolf as a creature of nature rather than fear it as a creature of fairy…

Bauer, Joseph; Held, Richard – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 1975
Article investigated the pattern of results for three series of tests in which monkeys were deprived of sight of their limbs from birth. (Author/RK)

Hamlin, Paul H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 1975
Predictions of two-stage learning theories were evaluated by measuring observing responses which produced the discriminative stimuli for .5 sec. (Editor)

Rosellini, Robert A.; Seligman, Martin E. P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 1975
This study is concerned with the transfer of learned helplessness from one aversive motivator, shock, to another, frustration. (Author)

Wright, Joan – Volta Review, 1975
The mother of a deaf preschool girl recounts how a pet kitten found by her daughter has provided the occasion and motivation for much language practice. (GW)

Crawford, Mary; Masterson, Fred – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 1978
While responses permitting no change in location are learned very slowly, responses that allow unambiguous flight from a dangerous location are learned very rapidly. Two experiments examine the possible reinforcing properties of the flight response in avoidance acquisition. (Author/RK)

van den Berghe, Pierre L. – Society, 1978
Sociobiology, although in its formative stage, is the most promising paradigm for bridging the gap between biology and the social sciences. (Author/AM)

Barnett, S. A. – Journal of Biological Education, 1977
Students of ethology are often confused about the validity of arguments based on comparisons of animal and human behavior. The problem can be dealt with purely theoretically or through observational or experimental studies of human behavior. Some results of using these two methods are described and discussed. (Author/MA)

MacLean, Paul D. – Science Teacher, 1978
The author examines the evolutionary and neural roots of a triune intelligence comprised of a primal mind, an emotional mind, and a rational mind. A simple brain model and some definitions of unfamiliar behavioral terms are included. (Author/MA)
