Transitive inference in non-human animals: an empirical and theoretical analysis.

Jul 2008 Transitive inference has long been considered one of the hallmarks of human deductive reasoning. Recent reports of transitive-like behaviors in non-human animals have prompted a flourishing empirical and theoretical... Read more...

Effect of contingent auditory stimuli on concurrent schedule performance: an alternative punisher to electric shock.

Jul 2008 This study explored whether load auditory stimuli could be used as functional punishing stimuli in place of electric shock. Three experiments examined the effect of a loud auditory stimulus on rats' responding... Read more...

The stay/switch model describes choice among magnitudes of reinforcers.

Jun 2008 The stay/switch model is an alternative to the generalized matching law for describing choice in concurrent procedures. The purpose of the present experiment was to extend this model to choice among magnitudes of... Read more...
