Partial and correlated reward in escape learning.
Previous studies (Campbell & Kraeling, 1953; Bower, Fowler, & Trapold, 1959) have demonstrated that magnitude of reinforcement operates as a variable in instrumental escape learning. In those experiments rats were run in a straight alley in which the startbox and runway provided a continuous and intense electric shock, and the goalbox provided a continuous but weaker shock. It was found that ru...
متن کاملRelative Reward Strength Algorithms for Learning
We examine a new class of action probability update algorithms for learning automata that use the relative reward strengths of responses from the environment. Speciically, we study update algorithms for S-Model automata in which \recent" environmental responses for each of the actions are retained and used. We prove a convergence result and study the behavior of these automata through simulatio...
متن کاملOptimisation of cognitive performance in rodent operant (touchscreen) testing: Evaluation and effects of reinforcer strength
Operant testing is a widely used and highly effective method of studying cognition in rodents. Performance on such tasks is sensitive to reinforcer strength. It is therefore advantageous to select effective reinforcers to minimize training times and maximize experimental throughput. To quantitatively investigate the control of behavior by different reinforcers, performance of mice was tested wi...
متن کاملA quantitative analysis of the reward-enhancing effects of nicotine using reinforcer demand.
Reward enhancement by nicotine has been suggested as an important phenomenon contributing toward tobacco abuse and dependence. Reinforcement value is a multifaceted construct not fully represented by any single measure of response strength. The present study evaluated the changes in the reinforcement value of a visual stimulus in 16 male Sprague-Dawley rats using the reinforcer demand technique...
متن کاملDiscriminated Belief Propagation
Near optimal decoding of good error control codes is generally a difficult task. However, for a certain type of (sufficiently) good codes an efficient decoding algorithm with near optimal performance exists. These codes are defined via a combination of constituent codes with low complexity trellis representations. Their decoding algorithm is an instance of (loopy) belief propagation and is base...
