Matching and Maximizing in Concurrent Schedules
In a recent article, Staddon and Motheral derived a mathematical model of responding in concurrent variable-interval-variable-interval schedules. According to this model, maximization of overall reinforcement rate predicts the operant matching law. However, Staddon and Motheral's derivation ignores a fundamental aspect of the concurrent schedule contingency. There are two simultaneously availab...
متن کاملSpatial Peak Shift and Generalization in Pigeons
How pigeons generalize across spatial locations was examined in the 4 experiments reported in this article. During training, a square was presented at a fixed height at 1 of 2 horizontal locations on a monitor screen. One location (S +) signaled reward, whereas the other one (S ) signaled no reward. The birds were then tested occasionally with a range of locations. After training with S+ only, ...
متن کاملTemporal generalization and peak shift in humans.
Three experiments investigated temporal generalization in humans. In Experiment 1, a peak shift effect was produced when participants were given intradimensional discrimination training. In Experiment 2, after training with a standard S+ and generalization testing with an asymmetrical series of durations, generalization gradients moved toward the prevailing adaptation level. In Experiment 3, ge...
متن کاملSpatial generalization and peak shift in humans
Using a computer betting game, five experiments tested university students on spatial generalization and peak shift. On each trial, one location was marked and the subject was invited to bet 0–4 points. At the winning location (S+), bets won four times the points betted. At nearby losing locations (S)s), points betted were lost. Generalization gradients were exponential in shape, supporting She...
متن کاملEvaluation and comparison of job stress among security workers with fixed and shift work schedules in Municipality of Tehran
Municipality of Tehran with huge number of employees and with the aim to reduce stress and promote the work efficiency, seriously wants to achieve suitable and utilizable studies. Osipow's job stress test is one of the best tools to reach this aim. Data population includes securities building of municipality of Tehran (88 persons from region 18 and 72 persons from region 20), who were randomly ...
