Driven by both applied and theoretical goals, scientific interest in canine cognition has
experienced a rapid surge in popularity, especially over the last 15 years. Here we provide …

The article reviews data from animal subjects on a range of timing tasks (including fixed-
interval and temporal differentiation schedules, stimulus timing, aversive conditioning, and …

The aim of the third edition of this book is... to provide a lucid introduction to contemporary
phenomena and theories about learning and behavior. The book strives to present a …

An emerging literature suggests that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is crucial for the
ability to track behavioral outcomes over time and has a critical role in successful foraging …

Three experiments examined the effect of motivational variables on timing in the peak
procedure. In Experiment 1, rats received a 60-s peak procedure that was coupled with long …

Packet theory is based on the assumption that the momentary probability of producing a
bout or packet of responding is controlled by the conditional expected time function. Bouts of …

Impulsive choice involves choosing a smaller-sooner (SS) reward over a larger-later (LL)
reward. Due to the importance of timing processes in impulsive choice, time-based …

In a conditioning protocol, the onset of the conditioned stimulus ([CS]) provides information
about when to expect reinforcement (unconditioned stimulus [US]). There are two sources of …

Previous research suggests animals may integrate temporal information into mental
representations, or temporal maps. We examined the parameters under which animals …

We discuss three empirical findings that we think any theory attempting to integrate interval
timing with associative learning concepts will need to address. These empirical phenomena …
