Developing a Preference Scale for a Bear: From “Bearly Like” to “Like Beary Much”

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
A preference scale for use by nonhuman animals would allow them to communicate their degree of liking for individual items rather than just relative preferences between pairs of items.

Discriminated conditioned suppression in rats. [PDF]

open access: yesPsychology & Neuroscience, 2012
experiment evaluated the effects of superimposing the Estes-Skinner Conditioned Emotional Response (CER) procedure on one of two components of a multiple schedule. The question was whether CER conditioning occurred under contextual control. The procedure had four experimental phases: (1) baseline of operant responding under a two-component multiple ...

Blockade of the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors impairs eyeblink serial feature-positive discrimination learning in mice.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
The serial feature-positive discrimination task requires the subjects to respond differentially to the identical stimulus depending on the temporal context given by a preceding cue stimulus.

Assessing Symmetry by Comparing the Acquisition of Symmetric and Nonsymmetric Conditional Relations in a Capuchin Monkey

open access: yesInternational Journal of Psychological Research, 2016
The present study presents a procedure to assess the property of symmetry by comparing the acquisition of conditional relations that are consistent and inconsistent with this property in a capuchin monkey (Sapajus spp.).

CONDITIONED REINFORCEMENT BY CONDITIONAL DISCRIMINATIVE STIMULI [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1988
A concurrent‐chains schedule was used to examine how a delay to conditional discriminative stimuli affects conditioned reinforcement strength. Pigeons' key‐peck responses in the initial link produced either of two terminal links according to independent variable‐interval 30‐s schedules.

Contextual control of conditional discrimination of the own behavior in pigeons

open access: yesInternational Journal of Psychological Research, 2008
An experiment in which a pigeon was trained in contextual discrimination of its own behavior was carried out. When the experimental chamber was illuminated with a constant light, the pigeon had to peck on a red (or green) key in the sample component ...

Demonstration of Coherent State Discrimination Using a Displacement Controlled Photon Number Resolving Detector [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We experimentally demonstrate a new measurement scheme for the discrimination of two coherent states. The measurement scheme is based on a displacement operation followed by a photon number resolving detector, and we show that it outperforms the standard

Entropy of a quantum channel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The von Neumann entropy of a quantum state is a central concept in physics and information theory, having a number of compelling physical interpretations.

CONDITIONAL DISCRIMINATION WITH AMBIGUOUS STIMULI [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1983
Five pigeons learned a two‐key conditional discrimination. When background color on both keys was red, pecks on the key with a horizontal line produced food. When the color was green, pecks on the key with a vertical line produced food. During part of the experiment, color was presented on only one of the keys.

“TRANSITIVE INFERENCE” IN MULTIPLE CONDITIONAL DISCRIMINATIONS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1993
We used multiple conditional discriminations to study the inferential abilities of pigeons. Using a five‐term stimulus series, pigeons were trained to respond differentially to four overlapping pairs of concurrently presented stimuli: A+B−, B+C−, C+D−, and D+E−, where plus and minus indicate the stimulus associated with reinforcement and extinction ...
