Numerical averaging in mice.

TL;DR: The results showed that the numbers of responses on these compound test trials were around the average of the number of responses in FCN-10 andFCN-20 trials particularly when the auditory stimulus was associated with a fewer number of required responses.

Numerical distance effect size is a poor metric of approximate number system acuity.

TL;DR: Modeling demonstrates that the theoretically ideal relationship between NDE size and ANS acuity is not linear, but rather resembles an inverted J-shaped distribution, with the inflection points varying based on precise NDE task methodology, which indicates that NDEsize has limited and inconsistent utility as an ANS-acuity metric.

Anticipatory responding in rats with septal lesions

TL;DR: Rats were trained on a discrete-trial two-lever “counting” task that required five responses on a ratio lever and then one response on a reward lever, and rats with septal lesions were found to make more reward-leaver responses prior to completion of the ratio response than control rats.

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.
