Run length, visit duration, and reinforcers per visit in concurrent performance.
TL;DR: From run lengths and visit durations, traditional concurrent performance was synthesized, and that synthesized performance was consistent with the generalized matching law.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earning and obtaining reinforcers under concurrent interval scheduling.
TL;DR: The generalized matching law, which is based on rates of obtaining reinforcers, described responding only when rates of earning rein forcers were the same at each alternative, which masks their possibly differing effects on preference.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Origins of Counting Algorithms
TL;DR: It is reported that nonhuman primates exhibit a cognitive ability that is algorithmically and logically similar to human counting, and this proto-counting algorithm is structurally similar to formal counting in humans and thus may have been an important evolutionary precursor to human count.

Relative numerosity discrimination in the pigeon: further tests of the linear-exponential-ratio model

TL;DR: Results showed that increasing the interblock intervals reduced the probability of choosing the last stimulus of the sample as the least-frequent one, and increasing the retention interval reduced accuracy without inducing any stimulus bias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociating the effects of dopamine D2 receptors on effort-based versus value-based decision making using a novel behavioral approach.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed operant assays to isolate the individual impacts of effort and value manipulations on cost-benefit decision making and found that D2R signaling is important for effort-based, but not value-based decision making.

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.
