    Operant conditioning using myoelectrical activity to control aversive stimuli requires rigorous controls. This study found that apparent increases in operant responses (OR) in naive subjects were not significant, but actual conditioning was demonstrated in a subsequent experiment.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Operant conditioning

    Context:

    • Re-evaluating Hefferline et al.'s (1959) operant conditioning experiment.
    • Investigating the control of aversive noise stimulation via myoelectrical activity (OR).
    • Addressing the lack of control experiments in the original study.

    Purpose:

    • To validate the efficiency of operant conditioning for aversive stimulus control.
    • To determine if observed increases in OR frequency are significant or due to spontaneous variations.
    • To confirm conditioning through closed-loop experiments with contingency.

    Summary:

    • Control experiments (open-loop) showed significant spontaneous variations in OR frequency over time.
    • Increases in OR frequency in naive subjects were within these spontaneous limits, thus not significant.

  • A subsequent conditioning experiment (closed-loop) demonstrated significant conditioning in 14 out of 18 subjects.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the critical need for robust control conditions in operant conditioning research.
    • Refines understanding of myoelectrical activity as a controllable operant response.
    • Provides evidence for the effectiveness of operant conditioning under validated experimental designs.
