| claim-type | critique— “If our aim is to arrive at knowledge that will help us educate our children, then the overwhelming emphasis in the history of this field on selection (reinforcement), which was once appropriate, may now be failing to address some of the most important unsolved problems.” | |
| method — evidence | — “Most generally, current theories of operant learning can be divided into three main types -- those that attempt to accurately describe behavior (descriptive theories), those that are concerned with how the operant learning is realized in the brain (biologically inspired theories), and those that ask what is the optimal way to solve problems… | |
| object of study — evidence | — “Operant conditioning (also known as instrumental conditioning ) is a process by which humans and animals learn to behave in such a way as to obtain rewards and avoid punishments.” | |
| research question — evidence | — “The scientific study of operant conditioning is thus an inquiry into perhaps the most fundamental form of decision-making.” | |
| contribution — evidence | — “The view of operant behavior as a repertoire of emitted acts from which one is selected by reinforcement, immediately forged a link with the dominant idea in biology: Charles Darwin’s natural selection, according to which adaptation arises via selection from a population that contains many heritable variants, some more effective – more likely… | |
| transfer | from artificial intelligence: The credit-assignment problem is taken over from AI and made the central question that an operant conditioning process must answer— “the core problem of assignment of credit, a term from artificial intelligence that refers to the question” | transfers[0] |
| transfer | from evolutionary biology: Darwin's natural selection is imported as the model for operant conditioning, with reinforcement as the selective agent acting on a variable repertoire of emitted acts— “immediately forged a link with the dominant idea in biology: Charles Darwin’s natural selection, according to which adaptation arises via selection from a population that contains many heritable variants” | transfers[1] |
| transfer | from computer science (computational reinforcement learning): The reinforcement-learning framework is adopted as the normative account within which both Pavlovian and operant behaviour are interpreted— “The computational field of reinforcement learning has provided a normative framework within which both Pavlovian and operant conditioned behavior can be understood.” | transfers[2] |
| transfer | from evolutionary biology: Darwinian selection from a varied population, imported to explain how one behaviour is picked out of an emitted repertoire by reinforcement— “The view of operant behavior as a repertoire of emitted acts from which one is selected by reinforcement, immediately forged a link with the dominant idea in biology: Charles Darwin’s natural selection, according to which adaptation arises via selection from a population that contains many heritable variants, some more effective – more likely… | transfers[3] |
| mechanism | Reinforcement acts as a selective agent on emitted behaviour, its strength set by how soon the reinforcer follows the response, how often the pairing occurs, and how well the response predicts the reinforcer— “Reinforcement is the selective agent, acting via temporal contiguity (the sooner the reinforcer follows the response, the greater its effect), frequency (the more often these pairings occur the better) and contingency (how well does the target response predict the reinforcer).” | mechanisms[0] |
| mechanism | The predictive properties of the situation build, through innate food-related response tendencies, the repertoire of activities out of which reinforcement can then select— “The general principle that emerges from these experiments is that the predictive properties of the situation determine the repertoire, the set of activities from which consequential, operant, reinforcement can select.” | mechanisms[1] |
| mechanism | A food-predicting stimulus recruits built-in mechanisms that bias the animal's repertoire towards food-getting acts, which is why behaviour appears before any operant reinforcement | mechanisms[2] |
| mechanism | Arousal has a bitonic effect because increasing predictiveness simultaneously raises response vigour and narrows the repertoire, so past a point the effective response drops out | mechanisms[3] |

The old span states the difference but names the wrong term for one end - that '…in CLASSICAL conditioning no…' response is required, unlike operant conditioning. The edge's endpoint is Pavlovian conditioning, and the span says CLASSICAL, which is the same thing under another name and therefore attests nothing for that endpoint. The replacement names both terms as the edge does AND gives the basis of the distinction: 'BETWEEN PAVLOVIAN…' conditioning, resting on whether the animal only observes the relations between events. Both spans carry a differentiation cue - 'unlike' and 'distinct' - so this is not a trade of strength for form; the new one simply uses the vocabulary the edge does.

When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.
