- Evaluating reinforcement-related processes in SHR rats, AP.R
Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by hyperactivity, impulsive behavior and sustained attention deficit. Recent etiological theories implicate changes on reinforcement sensitivity as a core process in ADHD. Spontaneously Hyperactive Rat is a lineage widely used as an animal model of ADHD. Research with SHR had find changes on rei…

- COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTS OF EXTINCTION CONTINGENCIES AND AVERSIVE STIMULATION SITUATIONS ON AGGRESSION BEHAVIORS AND ANGER FEELINGS, BP.IC
Abstract
This project is an experimental study that aims to compare the effects of Extinction and Aversive Stimulation contingencies on aggressive behaviors and feelings of anger, through the perspective of Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB). So, emotions are forms of behavior under the control of environmental contexts. Aggressive behavior can be related to Extinction or Aversive Stimulation…
- Effect of Reinforcement Delay on Behavior Acquisition Comparing Wistar, Wistar-Kyoto, and SHR Rats: A Systematic Replication, BP.IC
Abstract
This research project aims to investigate the effect of delayed reinforcement on behavior acquisition in SHR rats, an animal model of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study is based on the hypothesis that spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) exhibit more pronounced reinforcement delay gradients, which may negatively impact the acquisition of new behaviors. The respons…
- Analysis of chronic caffeine effetc on performance in a differential reinforcement of low rate 72 seconds schedule, BP.IC
Abstract
Caffeine is, probably, the most widely consumed stimulant in the world. One of its behavioral effects is the development of impulsive behavior; more precisely, impulsive action. Impulsive action, also known as inhibition or motor impulsivity, refers to a dimension of impulsivity phenomenon defined by the incapacity to stop emitting a response or to interrupt a response that already starte…

- Sugar withdrawal effects on the performance of rats in DRL 72 schedule, BP.IC
Abstract
Changes in the organism associated with sugar consumption directly impact one's behavior. In the literature, it is possible to find similarities between said changes and those following drug use, including its addictive potential and withdrawal effects. Furthermore, it is possible to observe studies establishing the causes between high-sugar diets and increased impulsivity. In that sense,…
- Relationship between symptoms of social network addiction and impulsive behavior, BP.IC
Abstract
This project is based on a literature that indicates possible harm that the use of social networks may cause, especially in abusive or dependent users. Since a large percentage of the Brazilian population uses various social networks, it is inferred the need to investigate this phenomenon with a focus on the most popular social networks in Brazil, namely Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. W…
- Appetitive latent inhibition: impact of preexposure on the formation of conditioned reinforcers in rats, BP.IC
Abstract
The various Latent Inhibition (LI) procedures are widely used to investigate positive symptoms of schizophrenia, especially dysfunctional selective attention processes. Understanding the selective attention deficit as the persistence of the control of a response by irrelevant stimuli. Thus, the repeated presentation of a stimulus without signaling a significant consequence, subsequently, …
