Journal ArticleDOI
Matching, maximizing, and the hyperbolic reinforcement feedback function.
TL;DR: It is argued that insensitivity to marginal variables undermines not only the specific hypothesis of reinforcement-rate maximization but also the more general theories of value maximization developed by Rachlin, Staddon, .
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding Landscape Use Patterns of Livestock as a Consequence of Foraging Behavior
TL;DR: The basic principles that underlie how animals make decisions about where to forage and how long to stay in a particular habitat are described and management practices designed to modify animal behavior and alter habitat-use patterns are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
A quantitative investigation of the delay-of-reinforcement gradient
TL;DR: A number of animal learning experiments have been reported which involve a variable referred to as delayed reward or delayed reinforcement as discussed by the authors, which is usually characterized by a period of delay, spatial or temporal or both, between the occurrence of an instrumental response and the rewarding or reinforcing of that response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food-deprivation increases cocaine-induced conditioned place preference and locomotor activity in rats.
TL;DR: Food-deprived rats showed a greater conditioned preference for the cocaine-paired environment during the choice test, greater cocaine-induced locomotor activity during conditioning trials, and a greater degree of sensitization to the activating effects of cocaine across conditioning trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unsignalled delay of reinforcement in variable-interval schedules.
O. J. Sizemore,Kennon A. Lattal +1 more
TL;DR: Three pigeons responded on several tandem variable-interval fixed-time schedules in which the value of the fixed- time component was varied to assess the effects of different unsignalled delays of reinforcement.

The Mentality of Apes
TL;DR: Koehler's analysis of the intelligence of higher primates marked a turning point in the psychology of thinking and the continuing struggle between behaviorism and cognitive psychology as discussed by the authors, but it was largely ignored for decades because it violated the conventional wisdom that animal behavior is simply the result of instinct or conditioning.
Book
Psychology from the Standpoint of a Behaviorist
TL;DR: Wozniak as mentioned in this paper describes the early elaboration of the theory of reflex, habit, and implicit response in the early stages of the development of the early development of behaviourism.
