A reinforcement schedule with two types of temporal information [PDF]

MethodsX
Decades of research on reinforcement schedules have demonstrated that temporal information regarding the arrival or nonarrival of biologically significant events controls animal behavior.

Working Memory and Reinforcement Schedule Jointly Determine Reinforcement Learning in Children: Potential Implications for Behavioral Parent Training [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Introduction: Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) is often provided for childhood psychiatric disorders. These disorders have been shown to be associated with working memory impairments.

Combined maternal separation and limited bedding-nesting increase goal tracking, delay discounting, and impulsive action, and moderate sign-tracking-perseverance associations in male rats [PDF]

BMC Neuroscience
Background Extensive research with rodent models has shown detrimental effects of early-life adversity (ELA) on behavioral (e.g., impulsive behavior, anxiety, and depression) and neurobiological processes (e.g., alterations of neuroendocrine processes ...

Multiple Schedules Facilitate Rapid Noncontingent Reinforcement Schedule Thinning. [PDF]

Behav Anal Pract, 2023
We evaluated a noncontingent reinforcement treatment that included initial brief exposures to signaled alternation of availability and nonavailability of reinforcement, followed by rapid schedule thinning.

5-HT1B receptor agonist enhances breakpoint for cocaine on a progressive ratio (PR) schedule during maintenance of self-administration in female rats but reduces breakpoint for sucrose

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
Background: Previous research showed that the 5-HT1B receptor agonist CP94253 enhanced cocaine reinforcement rate during maintenance of daily self-administration (SA), but inhibited reinforcement rate after 21 days of abstinence in male rats.

INDUCTION BY REINFORCER SCHEDULES [PDF]

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1984
Traditional strategies for determining whether a reinforcer schedule enhances the occurrence of an activity are reviewed and critically evaluated. A basic assumption underlying these strategies is that it is possible to isolate the effect of reinforcer intermittency on schedule induction. It is concluded that this is not, in fact, possible.

Performance characterization of reinforcement learning-enabled evolutionary algorithms for integrated school bus routing and scheduling problem

International Journal of Cognitive Computing in Engineering, 2021
Bi-objective school bus scheduling optimization problem that is a subset of vehicle fleet scheduling problem is focused in this paper. In the literature, school bus routing and scheduling problem is proven to be an NP-Hard problem.

Can surprising nonreward and adjunctive behavior influence each other? [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2018
Adjunctive or schedule-induced behavior can be defined as an increase in the frequency of a behavior under conditions of intermittent reinforcement.
