Progressive-ratio schedules and applied behavior analysis.
Establishing appropriate relations between the basic and applied areas of behavior analysis has been of long and persistent interest to me (e.g., Friman & Poling, 1996; Poling, Picker, Grossett, Hall-Johnson, & Holbrook, 1981; Porritt, Van Wagner, & Poling, 2009). Therefore, I read with enthusiasm the collection of articles on progressive-ratio (PR) schedules that appeared in the Summer 2008 is...
متن کاملOn the applied use of progressive-ratio schedules of reinforcement.
Examination of responding under various schedule arrangements is a core component of many analyses of operant behavior. Much of the pioneering work in applied behavior analysis was bred from laboratory research involving the exposure of nonhuman subjects to a variety of schedule arrangements. For example, Reynolds (1961) described a multiple-schedule arrangement in which one component consisted...
متن کاملApplied Behavior Analysis is a Science and, Therefore, Progressive.
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a science and, therefore, involves progressive approaches and outcomes. In this commentary we argue that the spirit and the method of science should be maintained in order to avoid reductionist procedures, stifled innovation, and rote, unresponsive protocols that become increasingly removed from meaningful progress for individuals diagnosed with autism spectru...
متن کاملComparison of fixed-ratio and progressive-ratio schedules of maintenance of stimulant drug-reinforced responding.
The effectiveness of doses of i.v. cocaine and nomifensine in maintaining lever-press responding in rhesus monkeys was evaluated under two schedules, fixed- and progressive-ratio (FR, PR). The doses that maintained maximum rates of responding under the fixed-ratio schedule were 0.32 mg/kg per injection cocaine and 0.10 mg/kg per injection nomifensine. The fixed-ratio rates maintained by this do...
متن کاملEffects of rimonabant on behavior maintained by progressive ratio schedules of sucrose reinforcement in obese Zucker (fa/fa) rats.
This experiment reports on the ability of rimonabant to alter the reinforcing properties of food in the genetically obese Zucker (fa/fa) rat, a strain that exhibits higher levels of endocannabinoids in brain regions that correspond to heightened food intake. We characterized food reinforcement in obese and lean Zucker rats by placing behavior under progressive ratio schedules of sucrose reinfor...
