Tolerance to effects of cocaine on behavior under a response-initiated fixed-interval schedule.
Tolerance to effects of cocaine can be modulated by schedules of reinforcement. With multiple ratio schedules, research has shown an inverse relationship between ratio requirement and amount of tolerance that resulted from daily administration of the drug. In contrast, tolerance to the effects of cocaine on behavior under multiple interval schedules generally has developed regardless of interva...
متن کاملSchedule-induced polydipsia as a function of fixed interval length.
Rats were trained to bar-press for Noyes pellets on an FI schedule which was increased serially through several values from 2 sec to as high as 300 sec. Concurrently, water was freely available. As FI length was increased, the degree of polydipsia increased linearly to a maximum value.
متن کاملPrenatal methylmercury exposure increases responding under clocked and unclocked fixed interval schedules of reinforcement.
Recent experiments have suggested that developmental methylmercury exposure produces perseverative behavior in adulthood. In the present experiment, interactions between developmental low-level methylmercury (MeHg) and nutritionally relevant dietary selenium (Se) on operant behavior and its persistence were examined in aged animals. Female rats were exposed, in utero, to 0, 0.5, or 5 ppm mercur...
متن کاملResponding to intractable terminal suffering.
TO THE EDITOR: Quill and Byock’s paper (1) is a significant contribution to the end-of-life care discussion. However, I continue to question the use of the phrase terminal sedation by the medical profession, particularly in light of Quill and Byock’s paper favoring this treatment. Whether used to describe the purposeful administration of sedation under the clinical guidelines summarized in this...
متن کاملResponding maintained by the opportunity to attack during an interval food reinforcement schedule.
Pigeons responded in a two-key situation. Responses on the right key (food key) were reinforced with food presentation on a response-initiated fixed-interval schedule, (i.e., first response after a fixed period of time was reinforced); responses on the left key (target key) were reinforced on a fixed-ratio schedule (i.e., every nth response was reinforced) with the presentation of a target bird...
