Conditioned reinforcement and response strength.
Stimuli associated with primary reinforcers appear themselves to acquire the capacity to strengthen behavior. This paper reviews research on the strengthening effects of conditioned reinforcers within the context of contemporary quantitative choice theories and behavioral momentum theory. Based partially on the finding that variations in parameters of conditioned reinforcement appear not to aff...
متن کاملContiguity and conditioned reinforcement in probabilistic choice.
In a baseline condition, pigeons chose between an alternative that always provided food following a 30-s delay (100% reinforcement) and an alternative that provided food half of the time and blackout half of the time following 30-s delays (50% reinforcement). The different outcomes were signaled by different-colored keylights. On average, each alternative was chosen approximately equally often,...
متن کاملReinforcement Learning for Multi-purpose Schedules
In this paper, we present a learning technique for determining schedules for general devices that focus on a combination of two objectives. These objectives are user-convenience and gains in energy savings. The proposed learning algorithm is based on Fitted-Q Iteration (FQI) and analyzes the usage and the users of a particular device to decide upon the appropriate profile of start-up and shutdo...
متن کاملDual effects on choice of conditioned reinforcement frequency and conditioned reinforcement value.
Pigeons were presented with a concurrent-chains schedule in which the total time to primary reinforcement was equated for the two alternatives (VI 30 s VI 60 s vs. VI 60 s VI 30 s). In one set of conditions, the terminal links were signaled by the same stimulus, and in another set of conditions they were signaled by different stimuli. Choice was in favor of the shorter terminal link when the te...
متن کاملActions that modify schedules of reinforcement
Many everyday activities involve the use of one action to modify the effects of another: When driving, shifting gears modifies the influence of pressing the gas pedal on acceleration; when cooking, the rate of adding a particular ingredient modifies the influence of stirring on viscosity. Here, we investigate a general ability to learn how to use actions to control schedules of reinforcement. I...
