An analysis of latency and interresponse time in free recall.
In four experiments, subjects freely recalled previously studied items while a voice key and computer recorded each item's recall latency relative to the onset of the recall period. The measures of recall probability and mean recall latency were shown to be empirically independent, demonstrating that there exists no a priori relationship between the two. In all four experiments, latency distrib...
متن کاملSequential Dependencies in Interresponse times and Reinforcement/response-cost
This study investigates sequential dependencies in interresponse times {lRTs) produced by human subjects under random-ratio (RR) and staircase stochastic reinforcement of waiting (staircase SRW) schedules using autocorrelation and relative fmquencies of IRTn *IRTn+1 pairs. In the first of two experiments conducted for this study, subjects clicked a computer mouse either to gain or to lose pOint...
متن کاملAnger D. The dependence of interresponse times upon the relative reinforcement of different interresponse times. J. Exp. Psychol. 52:145-61, 1956
“When a response of an animal is reinforced with food on a ratio schedule, the animal responds at a higher rate than it does on an interval schedule. (Ratio schedules require a number of responses between reinforced responses; interval schedules require a time interval between.) My 1956 paper sought to clarify how a rat detects that subtle difference. Skinner1 had mentioned that ratio schedules...
متن کاملPreference as a function of active interresponse times: a test of the active time model.
In this article, we describe a test of the active time model for concurrent variable interval (VI) choice. The active time model (ATM) suggests that the time since the most recent response is one of the variables controlling choice in concurrent VI VI schedules of reinforcement. In our experiment, pigeons were trained in a multiple concurrent similar to that employed by Belke (1992), with VI 20...
متن کاملInterresponse times in serial recall: effects of intraserial repetition.
The authors examined the effects of intraserial repetition on multitrial serial learning of random consonant lists, analyzing both learning rates and perfect trial interresponse times (IRTs). Lists varied along 3 dimensions: list length, presence or absence of a repeated element, and lag between repeated elements. After achieving a forward-recall criterion on a given list, participants (N = 20)...
