Study Notes
Animal Research and Training Techniques in Psychology
- Magazine training is a classical conditioning technique used to turn a neutral stimulus into a secondary reinforcer.
- Shaping is an operant training procedure involving reinforcing successive approximations of the desired behavior.
- Extinction in operant conditioning is the reduction in frequency of a previously reinforced response when the response is no longer reinforced.
- Continuous reinforcement (CRF) refers to reinforcing every instance of a target behavior, while partial reinforcement (PRF) reinforces some, but not all, instances of a behavior.
- Ventricles and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) play a crucial role in nourishing and protecting neural tissue in the brain.
- Animal research is essential in studying the neural basis of learning, neurobiology of diseases, mental health issues, and brain function.
- Human research investigates cause and effect for treatments and therapies, considering cultural, personality, and social factors.
- Animal research complements human research by providing understanding of brain and physiological changes.
- Alternative approaches to animal research, such as epidemiological studies and human brain imaging, lack the same level of experimental control and examination of brain mechanisms.
- 86% of drugs that pass phase 1 clinical trials in humans fail in phase 2 or 3, highlighting the importance of animal research in uncovering disease mechanisms.
- Animal research requires ethical approval to ensure animals are not maltreated and to ensure the scientific merit of the research.
- Value judgments need to be made regarding the type and amount of animal research, and ethical approval by committees is essential.
