The amount of time that organisms spend on a variable-interval schedule of a concurrent pair before departing to the other one (i.e., the dwell time on the schedule) follows an exponential distribution, meaning that the probability of switc...

The present study analyzed the eye movement patterns of five typically developed adults who were exposed to a series of simple discrimination training tasks with reversals in the contingencies of reinforcement that led to the formation of f...
Contrasting effects of reinforcer rate and magnitude on differential resistance to change in humans [0.03%]

Carlos Eduardo Costa et al.
The effects of the magnitude of reinforcement on the resistance to change of humans engaged in a computer task were examined in two experiments. In each, responding was disrupted by increasing the force requirement of the required response....
Testing behavioral flexibility in pigeons using conditional midsession reversal tasks [0.03%]

Midsession reversal examines behavioral flexibility by requiring animals to reverse a discrimination midway within a session. This reversal behavior is controlled by changing temporal factors over the session. We tested behavioral flexibili...

Research with nonhumans and human children has questioned the notion of the strengthening properties of reinforcers when choices are controlled by what reinforcers signal about upcoming events. We extended this work by developing and evalua...

Concepts can be taught by presenting examples and nonexamples and giving the learner feedback on whether they accurately identify the examples, but it is not clear how to select examples and nonexamples. Specifically, the degree to which ex...
Comparing traditional match-to-sample training with observational learning to establish equivalence classes with adults [0.03%]

The purpose of the current study was to compare the efficacy and efficiency of video-based observational learning (OL) with traditional match-to-sample (MTS) training to establish three 3-member equivalence classes of abstract visual stimul...
Using high-preference and low-preference music in a synchronous reinforcement treadmill preparation: A further extension [0.03%]

We conducted a series of studies on the effects of synchronous reinforcement. Study 1 presented 30 participants with their high-preference (HP) music, identified via a conjugate assessment, for walking on a treadmill during three synchronou...

Reinstatement refers to the recurrence of extinguished behavior following response-dependent or -independent exposure to stimuli such as reinforcers, stressors, or reinforcer-correlated cues. Despite broad research on this form of behaviora...
A free-operant olfactory choice procedure to assess preference for social and nonsocial scents in female rats [0.03%]

Rats are a social species, often used as a research model to study social behavior. However, isolating the factors (i.e., environmental stimuli, experiences with social interactions, novelty, etc.) that influence rats' social behavior can b...
