  • Title: [Effectiveness of different types of reinforcement in a controlled experiment].
    Author: Petukhov VV, Godukhin OV, Popov LA.
    Journal: Zh Vyssh Nerv Deiat Im I P Pavlova; 1979; 29(6):1212-7. PubMed ID: 532345.
    Abstract:
    The paper shows the possibility for animals to learn to change the form of their own evoked electrical brain activity in the course of a controlled experiment. The stimulation of the brain and cutaneous pain stimuli served for rats as the reinforcing factor. The presence of two factos, functioning throughout such reinforcement, is shown: specific one, providing for the adaptive change in the evoked response, and non-specific one, always lowering the EP amplitude due to general activation. The learning is successful only in case when both factors act in one direction.
