The Effects of Low- and High-Rate Responding on Stimulus Generalization
(2013)
Much of the behavior in which we engage involves stimulus control. Because stimulus control plays such an important role in everyday life, it is imperative that we analyze the development, stability, and conditions which ...
The Near Miss in Simulated Slot Machine Play: The Role of Conditioned Reinforcement
(2014)
The near miss effect in slot machine gambling is generally understood as two out of three winning reel symbols aligning horizontally at the payline, with the third winning symbol appearing just above or below the payline. ...
Varying the Transitional Criterion in a Chain Schedule of Reinforcement
(2018)
The present study is an examination of a single parameter of forward chaining procedures with humans. The specific parameter of interest, referred to as a transitional criterion, is applied throughout the course of a ...
Parametric Analysis of Fixed Lag Schedule Performance in Humans
(2014)
Response variability is an operant dimension of behavior and may be controlled by contingent reinforcement. It has been demonstrated that variable responding may be modified through reinforcement contingent on variability. ...
Discriminative and Reinforcing Effects of the Near Miss in Simulated Slot Machine Play
