Matching and Conditioned Reinforcement Rate
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Shahan, Timothy A.; Podlesnik, Christopher A.; Jimenez-Gomez, Corina – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2006
Attempts to examine the effects of variations in relative conditioned reinforcement rate on choice have been confounded by changes in rates of primary reinforcement or changes in the value of the conditioned reinforcer. To avoid these problems, this experiment used concurrent observing responses to examine sensitivity of choice to relative…

Resistance to Change of Responding Maintained by Unsignaled Delays to Reinforcement: A Response-Bout Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Podlesnik, Christopher A.; Jimenez-Gomez, Corina; Ward, Ryan D.; Shahan, Timothy A. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2006
Previous experiments have shown that unsignaled delayed reinforcement decreases response rates and resistance to change. However, the effects of different delays to reinforcement on underlying response structure have not been investigated in conjunction with tests of resistance to change. In the present experiment, pigeons responded on a…

Rate of Conditioned Reinforcement Affects Observing Rate but Not Resistance to Change
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shahan, Timothy A.; Podlesnik, Christopher A. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2005
The effects of rate of conditioned reinforcement on the resistance to change of operant behavior have not been examined. In addition, the effects of rate of conditioned reinforcement on the rate of observing have not been adequately examined. In two experiments, a multiple schedule of observing-response procedures was used to examine the effects…
