The cognitive basis of arithmetic

TL;DR: It is seen that comparing and counting numerosities does not yet imply the mastery of an abstract concept of number, but there is also evidence that rats can abstract from sensory modalities and add discrete events.

An accumulation-of-evidence task using visual pulses for mice navigating in virtual reality

TL;DR: A new evidence-accumulation task for head-fixed mice navigating in a virtual reality environment, which shows that the mice indeed accumulate evidence, and is a valuable tool to study the circuit mechanisms and dynamics underlying perceptual decision making, particularly under more complex behavioral contexts.

How pigeons discriminate the relative frequency of events.

TL;DR: The results showed that, overall, the pigeons discriminated the relative frequencies well and their accuracy always increased with the absolute value of the difference D and it decreased with T, and the model accounted well for the major trends in the data.

Chapter 2 – Behavioral Pharmacology

TL;DR: Research on drug-behavior interactions not only makes use of the techniques and concepts of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior but also provides information concerning the utility of those conceptualizations and contributes to their development and validation.

A note on chaining and temporal discrimination.

TL;DR: Four pigeons were exposed to a two-key DRL procedure and it is made that the superstitious responding on key A served to mediate the required delay interval, however, when intervals between successive key A responses were recorded for one subject, they were found to be regularly spaced in time.

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.
