The authors draw together and develop previous timing models for a broad range of
conditioning phenomena to reveal their common conceptual foundations: First, conditioning …

Humans and other animals demonstrate the ability to perceive and respond to temporally
relevant information with characteristic behavioral properties. For example, the response …

This chapter aims to devote primarily to behavior induced by response-independent
procedures, and to those aspects of response-contingent schedules that are not directly …

Relative performance and reinforcement measures obtained from concurrent schedules
show just such an orderly relation. This chapter is concerned with an evaluation of …

Describes a theory of temporal control which treats responding of animal Ss at asymptote
under a variety of learning procedures. Ss are viewed as making estimates of the time to …

Operant behavior is behavior “controlled” by its consequences. In practice, operant
conditioning is the study of reversible behavior maintained by reinforcement schedules. We …

We base a theory of timing on the observation that signals of reinforcement elicit adjunctive
behaviors. The transitions between these behaviors are well described as a Poisson …

Almost all of 103 sets of data from 23 different studies of choice conformed closely to the
equation: log (B1/B2)= a log (r1/r2)+ log b, where B1 and B2 are either numbers of …

Originally published in 1988, the purpose of this title was to present a coherent summary of
the previous 30 years' of research on the way in which animals and humans distribute their …

Our purpose was to infer the characteristics of the internal clock, temporal memory, and
decision processes involved in temporal generalization behavior on the basis of the analysis …
