Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) reduces operant behavior without impairing working memory in rats responding under fixed-consecutive-number schedules.

TL;DR: It is suggested that GHB produced non-selective behavioral disruption but not working memory impairment, and stimulus control and response effort did not modulate GHB's effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absolute Numerosity Discrimination as a Case Study in Comparative Vertebrate Intelligence.

TL;DR: It is found that not every vertebrate species studied in numerical cognition were able to flexibly discriminate absolute numerosity, which suggests qualitative differences in numerical intelligence are present between vertebrates, and demonstrates that Macphail's Null Hypotheses is untenable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of mu, kappa and sigma opioids on fixed consecutive number responding in rats

TL;DR: The fixed consecutive number schedule may be a sensitive procedure for distinguishing among the behavioral effects of various opioid agonists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal Discounting and Number Representation

TL;DR: In this paper, a brief overview of findings in the area of number cognition, followed by some theoretical applications of these findings in inter-temporal decisions is presented, in particular, the fact that numbers are neither linearly perceived nor processed has interesting consequences in the analysis of decisions that involve numbers.

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.
