Using Reinforcement Learning to Examine Dynamic Attention Allocation During Reading
A fundamental question in reading research concerns whether attention is allocated strictly serially, supporting lexical processing of one word at a time, or in parallel, supporting concurrent lexical processing of two or more words (Reichle, Liversedge, Pollatsek, & Rayner, 2009). The origins of this debate are reviewed. We then report three simulations to address this question using artificia...
متن کاملEffects of methylphenidate on sensitivity to reinforcement in children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: an application of the matching law.
The behavior of children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been hypothesized to be the result of decreased sensitivity to consequences compared to typical children. The present study examined sensitivity to reinforcement in 2 boys diagnosed with ADHD using the matching law to provide more precise and quantitative measurement of this construct. This experiment al...
متن کاملGuiding visual attention during acquisition of matching-to-sample.
Matching-to-sample skills are involved in language acquisition and the development of basic reading and counting abilities. The rapid, even errorless, induction of matching performances in young children and individuals with mental retardation was demonstrated here through the structuring of a visual array so as to promote detection of the relevant stimulus. Implications for theory and applicat...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Relationships Between Sensitivity to Reinforcement Traits and Emotion Dysregulation
Background and Aim: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between RST traits and emotion dysregulation include social anxiety, general anxiety, and depression in a student. Materials and methods: 189 students studying at one of the public universities in Tehran were selected by convenience sampling method and then the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized An...
متن کاملNoncontingent reinforcement, alternative reinforcement, and the matching law: a laboratory demonstration.
Basic researchers, but not most applied researchers, have assumed that the behavior-decelerating effects of noncontingent reinforcement result at least partly from adventitious reinforcement of competing behaviors. The literature contains only sketchy evidence of these effects because few noncontingent reinforcement studies measure alternative behaviors. A laboratory model is presented in which...
