Three pigeons pecked keys and 5 rats pressed levers for food delivered on variable-interval schedules. During baseline conditions, subjects responded on a variable-interval 40-s schedule throughout the session.
A further, and very familiar, example is that of positive transfer from continuous instrumental rein- forcement to some intermittent schedule of reinforcement, such as a ratio schedule of a value high enough that few subjects will acquire the instrumental response if given this schedule from the ...
In prior studies conducted more than four months before the training period of this study31,32, our subjects were trained under a variable ratio reinforcement schedule and had previously experienced situations in which correct responses were sometimes not rewarded. Therefore, the unfortunate condition ...
In the study of suboptimal choice, a reliable result is that pigeons strongly prefer an alternative that signals whether a reinforcer will be delivered or not over another alternative without that information even if the first provides a lower probability of reinforcement. In the aforementioned researc...

In prior studies conducted more than four months before the training period of this study31,32, our subjects were trained under a variable ratio reinforcement schedule and had previously experienced...

Answer true or false: In FI schedules, responses that occur before the scheduled time has elapsed have no effect on the time to reinforcement. Continuous reinforcement is more resistant to extinction than partial reinforcement. Is the statement true ...

children’s moral judgment responses can be modified through adult modeling cues and social reinforcement6. This suggests that the development of moral judgement is closely associated with our abilities to identify a shared social norm, detect deviations between own behavior and the norm, and correct...
