Sentence examples for increased responding on from inspiring English sources

This progressive shift towards increased responding on the active lever and reduced responding on the inactive lever, which occurred even though responding on the inactive lever continued to produce brief light stimuli, suggests that responding of experienced animals was directed more toward delivery of nicotine than toward presentation of the associated brief light stimuli.

The bHR rats exhibit enhanced acquisition of cocaine self-administration relative to bLR rats [ 5] as well as increased impulsivity (for example, reduced behavioral inhibition or increased responding on a task requiring inhibition compared with bLR rats) [ 12].

Repeated deprivations increased both the magnitude and duration of the ADE as indicated by increased responding on the ETOH lever.

Within the observing response task, quinpirole did not produce indiscriminate perseveration on all levers; increased responding was selective to the observing lever, implying that quinpirole had not induce a simple response perseveration on all levers.

At 8 years of age, prenatal PCB exposure was associated with increased impulsive responding on the CPT.

The present study was designed to determine if an acute disturbance of serotonin function would increase impulsive responding on two behavioral indices of impulsivity, and whether this effect would be greater in individuals with a genetic predisposition to alcoholism.

For example, globally reducing forebrain 5-HT through intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusions of the serotonergic toxin 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine, has been shown to increase premature responding on the 5CSRT and profoundly disrupted acquisition and performance of a go/no-go task (Harrison et al., 1997, 1999).

In the rat, lesions of the anterior cingulate cortex increase premature responding on the 5CSRT, whereas lesions to prelimbic cortex (analogous to dorsal PFC) impair attentional performance on the same task (Muir et al., 1996).

VS lesions do not cause marked increases in premature responding on the 5-CSRTT (Christakou et al., 2004) but do impair performance on the differential reinforcement of low rates of responding (DRL) task where delays are typically longer and uncued (Pothuizen et al., 2005; Fletcher et al., 2009).
