Reinforcement of Drinking by Running: Effect of Fixed Ratio and Reinforcement Time.
Rats were required to complete varying numbers of licks (FR), ranging from 10 to 300, in order to free an activity wheel for predetermined times (CT) ranging from 2 to 20 sec. The reinforcement of drinking by running was shown both by an increased frequency of licking, and by changes in length of the burst of licking relative to operant-level burst length. In log-log coordinates, instrumental l...
متن کاملResponse allocation to concurrent fixed-ratio reinforcement schedules with work requirements by adults with mental retardation and typical preschool children.
The present experiments examined the effect of work requirements in combination with reinforcement schedule on the choice behavior of adults with mental retardation and preschool children. The work requirements of age-appropriate tasks (i.e., sorting silverware, jumping hurdles, tossing beanbags) were manipulated. Participants were presented with their choice of two response options for each tr...
متن کامل"The stone which the builders rejected...": Delay of reinforcement and response rate on fixed-interval and related schedules.
The article deals with response rates (mainly running and peak or terminal rates) on simple and on some mixed-FI schedules and explores the idea that these rates are determined by the average delay of reinforcement for responses occurring during the response periods that the schedules generate. The effects of reinforcement delay are assumed to be mediated by a hyperbolic delay of reinforcement ...
متن کاملRate and rate ratio.
What are they? In human health it is generally the case that the more people studied, and the longer the surveillance of them, the greater the number of new occurrences of any specified condition there are likely to be. This is because of the increase in total time ‘at risk’ of having an event, that is, the increased persons-and-time of observation. A rate is an arithmetic way of quantifying th...
متن کاملImpulsivity, intelligence, and discriminating reinforcement contingencies in a fixed-ratio 3 schedule.
Research conducted in academic contexts suggests a moderating effect of impulsive behavior on the relationship between aptitude and achievement. According to these studies, intelligence scores being equal, higher levels of impulsivity have an adverse effect on achievement (Helmers, Young, & Pihl, 1995; Vigil-Colet & Morales-Vives, 2005; Zeidner, 1995). The present study aims to contrast the afo...
