10 results for "conditioning"
T_1_09 — Psychology of Learning and Conditioning
Learning — relatively permanent changes in behavior or behavioral potential resulting from experience — is the foundational process of behavioral adaptation. Three paradigms dominate: classical conditioning (Pavlov, 1927
X_2_01 — Psychosomatic Medicine and Placebo Science
The placebo effect — measurable physiological change resulting from the belief or expectation of treatment rather than the treatment's pharmacological action — is among the most replicated and least understood phenomena
Z_3_02 — Epigenetic Inheritance & Transgenerational Effects
Epigenetic inheritance refers to the transmission of phenotypic information across generations through mechanisms other than changes in DNA sequence. The three primary molecular mechanisms — DNA methylation, histone modi
K_2_06 — Neurofeedback and Brain Training
Neurofeedback — the real-time display of brain activity (typically EEG) to enable individuals to learn self-regulation of neural dynamics through operant conditioning — has been investigated since the pioneering work of
INTERDOC_23 — Placebo, Nocebo, and the Biology of Belief
[KEY FINDING] The placebo effect is not "fake medicine" — it involves genuine, measurable physiological changes mediated by endogenous neurotransmitter systems. Fabrizio Benedetti (University of Turin) has demonstrated:
T_2_13 — Placebo and Nocebo Effects
The placebo effect — a measurable physiological or psychological improvement in response to an inert treatment — is one of the most robust and well-documented phenomena in medicine and psychology, while the nocebo effect
T_2_09 — Fear, Anxiety, and Phobias
Fear and anxiety are functionally distinct emotion systems: fear is a present-oriented defensive response to immediate threats (fight-flight-freeze), while anxiety is a future-oriented state of apprehension about potenti
ZD_4_03 — Numerical Methods and Scientific Computation: Algorithms for the Continuous World
Numerical methods are algorithms for approximately solving mathematical problems that lack closed-form analytical solutions — which is to say, most problems in science and engineering. From weather prediction to aircraft
Y_4_12 — Psychosomatic Phenomena and the Placebo Effect
Psychosomatic phenomena — bodily changes produced by mental states — and the placebo effect — measurable physiological improvements following inert treatment — demonstrate that consciousness and belief can directly affec
Y_3_11 — Biofeedback and Neurofeedback
Biofeedback is the process of using real-time monitoring of physiological signals — heart rate, muscle tension, skin conductance, brainwave patterns — to train voluntary control over processes normally considered involun
