Successive interresponse times in fixed-ratio and second-order fixed-ratio performance

TL;DR: Three rats were trained on a schedule in which every sixth response produced a timeout of 5 sec minimum duration, and food was delivered at the onset of timeout, and successful interresponse times were measured under these conditions, and also when behavior was maintained by second-order fixed-ratio and fixed-interval schedules.

The Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior at zero, fifty, and one hundred.

TL;DR: The experimental content areas represented in JEAB in its first volume (1958) and 50 years later in Volume 87 are in many ways similar with regard to research on schedules of reinforcement, research with human subjects, and several other topics.

Neurocognitive accounts of developmental dyscalculia and its remediation.

TL;DR: This chapter supports the view of DD as a multifaceted neurodevelopmental disorder that is the result of multiple aberrancies at one or multiple levels of the information processing hierarchy, which supports successful arithmetic learning, and suggests that interventions should target all these systems to achieve successful outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A sequential response method of studing complex behavior in animals and its application to the measurement of drug effects.

TL;DR: It was found that for a given magnitude of behavioral detriment, drug dose and behavioral complexity of sequence were inversely related.

How to look at data: a review of john w. tukey's exploratory data analysis1

TL;DR: Here is a book about data analysis that should be fascinating to many readers of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, which does not deal with testing hypotheses and establishing confidence intervals, and provides techniques and advice about how to explore data.

On the classification of reinforcement schedules

TL;DR: I am indebted to Professor Lighthill for some further illuminating remarks regarding this point and his comments on Heisenberg's Theory of Isotropic Turbulence are highly illuminating.
