Navakatikyan, Michael A.; Davison, Michael – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2010
Dynamical models based on three steady-state equations for the law of effect were constructed under the assumption that behavior changes in proportion to the difference between current behavior and the equilibrium implied by current reinforcer rates. A comparison of dynamical models showed that a model based on Navakatikyan's (2007) two-component…
