This is a protocol used to assess mouse reversal learning in an operant box. Food-deprived mice are initially trained in the operant box (milk as the reward) using the related "Basic Operant Behavioral Training" protocol in the same folder on protocols.io. See that protocol for materials and operant box design. Mice are then trained and tested on the protocol included here to assess reversal learning with probabilistic reward delivery.
