The relative reinforcing value of food predicts weight gain in a longitudinal study of 7--10-y-old children.

15 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: The relative reinforcing value (RRV) of food, defined as how hard an individual is prepared to work to gain access to food rather than a nonfood alternative, has been shown to be higher in obese adults and children than in their ...

Lateral intraparietal cortex and reinforcement learning during a mixed-strategy game.

Jun 2009 Activity of the neurons in the lateral intraparietal cortex (LIP) displays a mixture of sensory, motor, and memory signals. Moreover, they often encode signals reflecting the accumulation of sensory evidence that certain eye movements might lead to ...

Stress prompts habit behavior in humans.

Jun 2009 Instrumental behavior can be controlled by goal-directed action-outcome and habitual stimulus-response processes that are supported by anatomically distinct brain systems. Based on previous findings showing that stress modulates the interaction of ...

Influence of identity versus Oddity pretraining on symmetric matching to sample.

30 May 2009 Identity and oddity matching tasks were designed for different groups of 5-yr.-old children. The presentation of tasks continued until all children had shown evidence of appropriate generalization to new stimuli (i.e., generalized identity matching ...

A form of 'parental presence/absence' (PPA) technique for the child patient with dental behaviour management problems.

30 May 2009 AIM: This paper reports on the use of early introduction of a specific parental presence/absence (PPA) behavioural technique to manage the initially uncooperative child. METHODS: Using a prospective design, 440 healthy children aged 3 to 10 years ...

A comparison between traditional economical and demand curve analyses of relative reinforcer efficacy in the validation of preference assessment predictions.

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: This single-case study examined the degree to which three formal preference assessments (i.e. paired-stimulus, multiple-stimulus without replacement and a free-operant procedure) successfully identified reinforcers from six edibles in a ...

The relationship between self-efficacy and reductions in smoking in a contingency management procedure.

30 May 2009 Social--cognitive and behavioral theories of change disagree on what the relevant controlling variables for initiating behavior change are. Correlations between baseline smoking cessation self-efficacy and the changes in breath carbon monoxide (CO) ...

Effects of voucher-based intervention on abstinence and retention in an outpatient treatment for cocaine addiction: a randomized controlled trial.

30 May 2009 The aims of this study were to assess whether voucher magnitude improved cocaine abstinence and retention in an outpatient treatment for cocaine dependence, and to determine the effectiveness of a contingency management intervention in a European ...

Regulating recognition decisions through incremental reinforcement learning.

30 May 2009 Does incremental reinforcement learning influence recognition memory judgments? We examined this question by subtly altering the relative validity or availability of feedback in order to differentially reinforce old or new recognition judgments. ...
