Experience With Dynamic Reinforcement Rates Decreases Resistance to Extinction

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2016
The ability of organisms to detect reinforcer‐rate changes in choice preparations is positively related to two factors: the magnitude of the change in rate and the frequency with which rates change. Gallistel (2012) suggested similar rate‐detection processes are responsible for decreases in responding during operant extinction.

Biodiversity conservation and the extinction of experience

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2005
Biodiversity loss is a matter of great concern among conservation scientists, but the wherewithal to reverse this trend is generally lacking. One reason is that nearly half of the world's people live in urban areas and are increasingly disconnected from nature. If there is to be broad-based public support for biodiversity conservation, the places where

Extinction of experience among ecologists

Trends in Ecology & Evolution
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity ...

Unpacking the causes and consequences of the extinction of experience

Biological Conservation, 2020
Abstract Urbanization and urban lifestyle are progressively diminishing individuals' opportunity (e.g., nature exposure) to experience and orientation (affinity) towards nature, ultimately reducing people's experiences of nature. This process has been described as the ‘extinction of experience’ (EoE), and it was suggested that it can alter the way ...

An Experiment on Averaging in Extinction Measurements

Particle & Particle Systems Characterization, 1998
The discrete nature of particles leads to fluctuations, in both space and time, of the radiation transmitted through a disperse system. The result of a transmission or extinction measurement is commonly expressed, however, as an average value and consecutively converted to a concentration measurement.

Beam Extinction Monitoring in the Mu2e Experiment

2015
The Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab will search for the conversion of a muon to an electron in the field of an atomic nucleus with unprecedented sensitivity. The experiment requires a beam consisting of proton bunches approximately 200ns FW long, separated by 1.7 microseconds, with no out-of-time protons at the 10⁻¹⁰ fractional level.

Biodiversity crisis and the extinction of experience at our doorsteps

2023
Wir leben in einer Zeit des Aussterbens und die Krise der biologischen Vielfalt ist derzeit eine der größten ökologischen Herausforderungen, die alles Leben auf unserem Planeten bedroht. Gleichzeitig leben wir in einer Zeit der raschen Urbanisierung: Jeden Tag leben mehr Menschen in städtischen Gebieten, und diese wachsenden Landschaften verändern ...

Paleozoic Scleractinia: progenitors or extinct experiments?

Paleobiology, 1998
Abstract The Scleractinia, which are one of the most important builders of modern reefs, have been considered to have first appeared in the Middle Triassic. Recently, Paleozoic scleractiniamorphs have been reported from both the Ordovician and the Permian, suggesting that the scleractinian-like body plan was already established in the
