Contingency discriminability, matching, and bias in the concurrent-schedule responding of possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) [PDF]

, 2003
Six possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) responded under dependent concurrent variable-interval variable- interval schedules of reinforcement. Over 15 conditions, barley–carob was one reinforcer with the other reinforcer consisting of Coco Popst, coconut, or ...

Increasing Socially Significant Behaviors for Children with Autism Using Synchronous Reinforcement

Education Sciences, 2023
In some types of reinforcement schedules, a reinforcer is presented or given to the child and interacted with continuously while a target behavior is occurring.

Player Satisfaction Model and its Implication to Cultural Change

IEEE Access, 2020
Game refinement theory has been studied to derive a measurement of game sophistication. Recently, it has been developed as physics in mind, which may relate to the state of player's feelings such as satisfaction and comfort in mind. This article explores

Concurrent second-order schedules: some effects of variations in response number and duration [PDF]

, 2005
To examine the effects on concurrent performance of independent manipulations of response-unit duration and number, 6 hens were exposed to concurrent second-order schedules of reinforcement.

The Long-Acting D3 Partial Agonist MC-25-41 Attenuates Motivation for Cocaine in Sprague-Dawley Rats

Biomolecules, 2020
The dopamine D3 receptor is a prime target for developing treatments for cocaine use disorders (CUDs). In this study, we conducted a pre-clinical investigation of the therapeutic potential of a long-acting, D3 receptor partial agonist, MC-25-41.

Ethanol exposure interacts with training conditions to influence behavioral adaptation to a negative instrumental contingency

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
We previously reported that, in male, Long Evans rats, instrumental lever pressing that had been reinforced during limited training under a variable interval (VI) schedule by oral self-administration of a 10% sucrose/10% ethanol (10S10E) solution was ...

Emotional State and Feedback-Related Negativity Induced by Positive, Negative, and Combined Reinforcement

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Reinforcement learning relies on the reward prediction error (RPE) signals conveyed by the midbrain dopamine system. Previous studies showed that dopamine plays an important role in both positive and negative reinforcement.

When a stay is a switch: Discriminative control of response chunks determines preference during concurrent VI VI schedules [PDF]

advances.in/psychology
We present evidence that changeover delays (CODs) can organize responding into response chunks and that the discriminative control of these units can contribute to observed preference during concurrent variable-interval (VI) VI schedules of reinforcement.

Reinforcement learning in populations of spiking neurons [PDF]

, 2008
Population coding is widely regarded as a key mechanism for achieving reliable behavioral responses in the face of neuronal variability. But in standard reinforcement learning a flip-side becomes apparent.
