Time, rate, and conditioning.
Charles R. Gallistel,John Gibbon +1 more
TL;DR: The authors draw together and develop previous timing models for a broad range of conditioning phenomena to reveal their common conceptual foundations: first, conditioning depends on the learning of the temporal intervals between events and the reciprocals of these intervals, the rates of event occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matching and maximizing in a self-control paradigm using human subjects
TL;DR: This article examined adult human females' sensitivity to variation in amount and delay of reinforcement, as well as their impulsiveness (preference for smaller, less delayed reinforcer over larger, more delayed reinforcers), self-control, and indifference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of matching.
TL;DR: The large, rapid, scale-invariant shifts in time-allocation ratios that underlie matching behavior imply that the subjective relative rate of reward can be determined by a very few of the most recent interreward intervals and that this estimate can directly determine the ratio of the expected stay durations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Independence of reinforcer amount and delay: The generalized matching law and self-control in humans
TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized matching law was used to explain adult humans' greater tendency than pigeons to choose larger, more delayed over smaller, less delayed reinforcers, which cannot be explained by an interaction between the effects of reinforcer amount and delay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matching, maximizing, and the behavioral unit: concurrent reinforcement of response sequences.
J. G. Fetterman,D A Stubbs +1 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that response sequences acted as functional units influencing choice and thus support a structural account of choice and the matching of relative sequence proportion and relative reinforcement rate supports a matching account.
