REINFORCEMENT MAGNITUDE AND THE INHIBITING EFFECT OF REINFORCEMENT [PDF]
Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1979 In a two‐key concurrent variable‐interval schedule (using pigeons), if the reinforcement frequency for one response is held constant while that for the other is increased, the rate of response on the constant key decreases. The immediate reinforcement for key pecking can usually be conceptualized as the change from a condition in which the key light is

COMPOSITE REINFORCEMENT FOR REINFORCED SOIL APPLICATIONS
SOILS AND FOUNDATIONS, 2003 Composite reinforcements achieve the desired performance with a synergetic action from two components. In this paper, development of a composite reinforcement system, made of high tensile steel wire, encased in a cement mortar as a viable system for soil reinforcement applications is proposed.

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Highway Bridges under Scour and Chloride Ion Corrosion
Applied Sciences, 2022 Cross-river bridges located in seismically active areas are exposed to two major natural hazards, namely earthquakes and flooding. As the scour depth increases, more parts of the bridge substructure will inevitably be exposed to unfavorable conditions ...

THE SUBSTITUTABILITY OF REINFORCERS [PDF]
Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1993 Substitutability is a construct borrowed from microeconomics that describes a continuum of possible interactions among the reinforcers in a given situation. Highly substitutable reinforcers, which occupy one end of the continuum, are readily traded for each other due to their functional similarity.
