TL;DR: This paper grows out of an attempt to evaluate the state of the art of computer simulation in behavioral science, and finds three current and exhaustive bibliographic and review articles: Abelson, Werner and Werner, and Pitts.
Abstract: This paper grows out of an attempt to evaluate the state of the art of computer simulation in behavioral science. I undertook the task of preparing a review article for a Russell Sage Foundation Conference in 1969. But once into the review process, I was struck by two facts, both of which tended to inhibit progress. First, I found three current and exhaustive bibliographic and review articles: Abelson (1968), Werner and Werner (1969), and Pitts (1970). And second, I discovered two more or less interrelated areas of confusion and ambiguity that run through the literature on simulation. One area of ambi-

TL;DR: A computer controlled experiment is described designed to investigate the consequences of reinforcement of negative recency on its occurrence and the substance of Estes' pattern model of such learning is examined.
Abstract: Both theroretical work and research results have been somewhat equivocal on the subject of recency in the two-choice probability learning task. The present paper describes a computer controlled experiment designed to investigate the consequences of reinforcement of negative recency on its occurrence. Results are examined in terms of both the methodology of computer controlled experimentation and the substance of Estes' pattern model of such learning.
