Assessing the performance of brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) on the Mechner counting procedure

TL;DR: This research further supports the use of the Mechner procedure as a method for measuring counting ability in animals and confirms the possibility of numerical competence in a marsupial species.
Journal ArticleDOI

To honor Davis & Pérusse and repeal their glossary of processes of numerical competence

TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative set of processes that are more precise, logical, consistent, and complete is proposed, including counting, subitizing, estimation, and concept of number.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response control of responding: Discrimination and generalization of response-produced stimuli

TL;DR: Specific antecedent barpress-response durations emitted by rats were substituted for the exteroceptive stimuli typically used in stimulus control paradigms and produced differential rates of response along a response-duration continuum, providing support for the conceptualization that response control represents a special instance of stimulus control.

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.
