The Effects of Quality of Reinforcement on the Resurgence of Responding
Behavioral SciencesThe current study evaluated the effects of quality of reinforcement on the resurgence of target behavior responding. We defined higher- or lower-quality stimuli in terms of reinforcer potency, and specifically by the identified extent to which a ...

The effects of delay-to-reinforcement, response requirement and schedule duration on performance under fixed-ratio schedules [PDF]
, 2011 Experiment 1 examined the effects of delay-to-reinforcement on between-ratio pausing in multiple fixed-ratio 5 fixed-ratio 5 schedules. In one component the reinforcer was delivered immediately on completion of the ratio, and in the other there was a ...

Reinforcement learning derived chemotherapeutic schedules for robust patient-specific therapy
Scientific Reports, 2021 The in-silico development of a chemotherapeutic dosing schedule for treating cancer relies upon a parameterization of a particular tumour growth model to describe the dynamics of the cancer in response to the dose of the drug.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

The effects of delay to reinforcement and inter-trial interval on fixed-ratio schedule performance [PDF]
, 2013 A delay to reinforcement has been found in previous studies to influence the effectiveness of a reinforcer. As the delay duration increases, response rates decrease and post reinforcement pause durations increase.

Ethanol seeking by Long Evans rats is not always a goal-directed behavior. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Two parallel and interacting processes are said to underlie animal behavior, whereby learning and performance of a behavior is at first via conscious and deliberate (goal-directed) processes, but after initial acquisition, the behavior can become ...

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.This prospective study demonstrates that laparoscopic sphincter‐preserving surgery is feasible for elderly patients. While overall survival reaches 70% at 5 years, advanced T‐stage and the omission of neoadjuvant therapy significantly drive recurrence, highlighting the need for personalized geriatric protocols despite logistical challenges.
