Measuring and modeling the interaction among reward size, delay to reward, and satiation level on motivation in monkeys.

3 Nov 2008 Motivation is usually inferred from the likelihood or the intensity with which behavior is carried out. It is sensitive to external factors (e.g., the identity, amount, and timing of a rewarding outcome) and internal factors (e.g., hunger or ...

A computational theory of selection by consequences applied to concurrent schedules.

30 Oct 2008 Virtual organisms animated by a computational theory of selection by consequences responded on symmetrical and asymmetrical concurrent schedules of reinforcement. The theory instantiated Darwinian principles of selection, reproduction, and mutation ...

Interresponse time structures in variable-ratio and variable-interval schedules.

30 Oct 2008 The interresponse-time structures of pigeon key pecking were examined under variable-ratio, variable-interval, and variable-interval plus linear feedback schedules. Whereas the variable-ratio and variable-interval plus linear feedback schedules ...

Concurrent resurgence and behavioral history.

30 Oct 2008 The contribution of past experiences to concurrent resurgence was investigated in three experiments. In Experiment 1, resurgence was related to the length of reinforcement history as well as the reinforcement schedule that previously maintained ...

Analysis of an ambiguous-feature discrimination.

30 Oct 2008 An autoshaping experiment with pigeons and three appetitive Pavlovian conditioning experiments with rats investigated the course of an ambiguous-feature discrimination in which trials with stimuli A and BC were followed by food, and trials with B ...

Human performance on a two-alternative rapid-acquisition choice task.

28 Oct 2008 Davison and Baum [Davison, M., Baum, W. M., 2000. Choice in a variable environment: every reinforcer counts. Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior 74, 1-24.] developed a concurrent-schedule procedure where, within each session, different ...

Discriminative and reinforcing stimulus properties of music for rats.

28 Oct 2008 We trained rats to discriminate music by Bach from that by Stravinsky using operant conditioning. The rats successfully learned the discrimination and transferred their discrimination to novel music by the same artists. Then, we trained rats on ...

Behavioral economic assessment of price and cocaine consumption following self-administration histories that produce escalation of either final ratios or intake.

27 Oct 2008 Various self-administration procedures are being developed to model specific aspects of the addiction process. For example, 'increased cocaine intake over time' has been modeled by providing long access (LgA) to cocaine during daily ...

Toward a nonhuman model of contingency management: effects of reinforcing abstinence from nicotine self-administration in rats with an alternative nondrug reinforcer.

21 Oct 2008 RATIONALE: Reinforcing abstinence from drug use with alternative nondrug reinforcers (e.g., contingency management) is one of the most effective interventions for drug abuse. While nonhuman studies have also shown that access to alternative nondrug ...

Do rats represent time logarithmically or linearly?

20 Oct 2008 This study examined two possible psychophysical time scales, a logarithmic representation of time with constant variability and a linear representation of time with scalar variability. Twenty-four rats were tested on a modified temporal bisection ...
