The tutorial articles in the present special section are based on the fifth and sixth meetings of the Kyoto Seminar for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, titled Instrumentation in the Study of Operant Conditioning: The Past and the Future. The Kyoto Seminars were held twice a year, from early in December, 2012, to the end of March, 2015, that is, six times. The tutorial articles in the present issue deal with a variety of methods for experiments with adult and non-adult humans as participants in the study of human operant behavior. The articles reveal that research on human operant behavior has benefited from technical innovations in experimental apparatus for humans. The articles will provide a further step for future research on human operant behavior.
