The experimental analysis of delay of reinforcement is considered from the perspective of
three questions that seem basic not only to understanding delay of reinforcement, but, also …

Some of the earliest applications outside the laboratory of principles derived from the
experimental analysis of behavior (EAB), such as the pioneering work of Keller and Marian …

This impressive collection features Richard Herrnstein's most important and original
contributions to the social and behavioral sciences--his papers on choice behavior in …

We manipulated relative reinforcement for problem behavior and appropriate behavior using
differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) without an extinction component …

Effective conditioning requires a correlation between the experimenter's definition of a
response and an organism's, but an animal's perception of its behavior differs from ours …

Three experiments examined the role of the degree of temporal contiguity between an action
and an outcome in human causality judgement. In all the experiments subjects were …

Discrete responses of experimentally naive, food-deprived White Carneaux pigeons (key
pecks) or Sprague-Dawley rats (bar or omnidirectional lever presses) initiated unsignaled …

Twenty undergraduate students were exposed to single response‐independent schedules
of reinforcer presentation, fixed‐time or variable‐time, each with values of 30 and 60 s. The …

The construct of conditioned reinforcement has been challenged over the past two decades,
both as an adequate explanation of behavior in various situations (eg, behavioral chains) in …

Pigeons were trained on either a variable‐interval 60‐second schedule, or on a schedule
that differentially reinforced responses that were spaced at least 20 seconds apart. The birds …
