Operant conditioning protocols can change spinal reflexes gradually, which are the simplest behaviors. This article summarizes the evidence supporting two propositions: that these protocols provide excellent models for defining the substrates of learning and that they can induce and guide plasticity to help restore skills, such as locomotion, that have been impaired by spinal cord injury or other disorders.
操作性条件反射方案可以逐渐改变脊髓反射,而脊髓反射是最简单的行为。本文总结了支持两个命题的证据:这些方案为定义学习的基础提供了极佳的模型,并且它们可以诱导和引导可塑性,以帮助恢复因脊髓损伤或其他疾病而受损的技能,如运动能力。
