Various schedules of reinforcement have long been used in experimental psychology to
establish and maintain operant behaviors. These reinforcement contingencies have also …

The ability to control when to start an action and when to stop is crucial in human and animal
behavior. A failure to suppress premature behavior or to carry out an action in a timely …

Amphetamine and it analogs have been shown to affect operant behavior maintained on the
differential reinforcement of a low-rate (DRL) schedule. The aim of the present study was to …

Rationale A differential-reinforcement-of-low-rate schedule (DRL) delivers reinforcement
only when the interresponse time (IRT) exceeds a fixed time interval, thereby shaping rats to …

Background Delayed rewards maintain lower rates of operant responding than immediate
rewards, and when given a choice between immediate and delayed rewards, individuals …

Abstract Differential-reinforcement-of-low-rate (DRL) is an operant conditioning schedule
that requires behavioral inhibition for a given length of time, known as the interresponse time …

Differential reinforcement of low rate (DRL) responding is a schedule-controlled behavior
sometimes used in timing research, but also received critics of not providing a pure measure …

Behavior maintained under a differential-reinforcement-of-low-rate (DRL) 72-s operant
schedule, which reinforces responses with interresponse times greater than 72s, exhibits a …

There is a need to develop cognitive tasks that address valid neuropsychological constructs
implicated in disease mechanisms and can be used in animals and humans to guide novel …

Stable DRL performance of four rats was studied under conditions of delayed reinforcement.
A DRL 20 sec requirement remained in effect across all sessions while the delay of …
