Characterizing operant hyperactivity in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat
Behavioral and Brain Functions, 2012 Background Operant hyperactivity, the emission of reinforced responses at an inordinately high rate, has been reported in children with ADHD and in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR), the most widely studied animal model of ADHD.

THE SLEEPING GIANT: REINFORCEMENT SCHEDULES [PDF]
Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1984 Schedule research has been the core of operant conditioning, but it is no longer an active area, at least with respect to its traditional focus of describing and explaining moment‐to‐moment behavior. Yet schedules are central in psychology: Not only do they establish lawful behavior, but they also play a major role in determining the effects of other ...

The Further Analysis of Catania's Concept of the Operant
, 2014 Catania’s theory of the operant incorporated the continuous characteristic of behaviour, where the response distribution follows a normal distribution.

The effects of signalled reinforcement in multiple schedules of reinforcement [PDF]
, 1970 In a two-component multiple variable interval schedule of reinforcement, responding in a blue, nonsignalled component was found to be a decreasing, negatively accelerated function of the rate of reinforcement in a red, signalled component. It was clearly

A MOLAR THEORY OF REINFORCEMENT SCHEDULES [PDF]
Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1978 Behavior of subjects exposed to concurrent and individual interval and ratio schedules of reinforcement may be described in terms of a set of expressions relating the value of responses to their durations, a feedback equation relating reinforcement to response duration, and the assumption that subjects allocate their time among various responses so as ...

Behavioral contrast and decreasing preference for a multiple-schedule component with reduced response rate [PDF]
, 1970 When responding in one component of a multiple schedule of reinforcement is suppressed, behavioral contrast, indicated by an increase in response rate, may occur in an alternated, unchanged component.

A Children's Reinforcement Survey Schedule
, 1979 This paper describes a Children's Reinforcement Survey Schedule based on the Reinforcement Survey Schedule developed by Cautela and Kastenbaum (1967). The children's schedule is presented in three forms.

Choosing to Choose: Preference for free-choice over forced-choice
, 2013 Brown Shaver hens responded on a concurrent chain procedure, containing two independent initial link keys, that ran on VI 30-s schedules. Following the conclusion of the initial link schedules either 1 or 2 terminal link keys were made available to the ...

Possum Food Preferences under Progressive-Ratio and Concurrent-Schedules of Reinforcement
, 2012 Three experiments compared various ways of examining food preferences in the common brushtail possum (Trischosurus vulpecula). The first experiment compared the preferences obtained between four foods using paired-stimulus (PS) and multiple-stimulus ...
