Abstract numerical discrimination learning in rats

TL;DR: Rats’ discrimination learning of the numerical ordering positions of objects is examined to offer strong evidence for abstract numerical discrimination learning in rats.

Fixed-consecutive-number performance in male and female Wistar rats.

TL;DR: This paper investigated whether response rate differences between male and female Wistar rats observed in many different experimental procedures could be attributed to sex differences in behavioral perseverance, as has been suggested by the results of previous experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human nonverbal discrimination of relative and absolute number.

TL;DR: The nonverbal discrimination of relative and absolute number of sequential visual stimuli was investigated with humans in bisection, reproduction, and report tasks, and coefficients of variation decreased for values less than 6 but increased or remained constant for larger values, suggesting that different representations were used for small and large numbers.

Mixed Fixed-Ratio Schedules III: The Postreinforcement and Postprime Pauses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects on pause length of varying the response requirements in a mixed fixed-ratio x-chained fixed ratio x-fixed ratio y schedule.

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.
