Direct linkMadden, Gregory J.; Smethells, John R.; Ewan, Eric E.; Hursh, Steven R. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2007
This experiment was conducted to test predictions of two behavioral-economic approaches to quantifying relative reinforcer efficacy. According to the first of these approaches, characteristics of averaged normalized demand curves may be used to predict progressive-ratio breakpoints and peak responding. The second approach, the demand analysis,…

Madden, Gregory J.; Smethells, John R.; Ewan, Eric E.; Hursh, Steven R. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2007
This experiment was conducted to test the predictions of two behavioral-economic approaches to quantifying relative reinforcer efficacy. The normalized demand analysis suggests that characteristics of averaged normalized demand curves may be used to predict progressive-ratio breakpoints and peak responding. By contrast, the demand analysis holds…

Galuska, Chad M.; Winger, Gail; Woods, James H.; Hursh, Steven R. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2006
Given a commodity available at different prices, a unit-price account of choice predicts preference for the cheaper alternative. This experiment determined if rhesus monkeys preferred remifentanil (an ultra-short-acting [mu]-opioid agonist) delivered at a lower unit price over a higher-priced remifentanil alternative (Phases 1 and 3). Choice…
