Delay discounting of qualitatively different reinforcers in rats.

Humans discount larger delayed rewards less steeply than smaller rewards, whereas no such magnitude effect has been observed in rats (and pigeons). It remains possible that rats' discounting is sensitive to differences in the quality of the delayed reinforcer even though it is not sensitive to amount. To evaluate this possibility, Experiment 1 examined discounting of qualitatively different foo...

Studies of wheel-running reinforcement: parameters of Herrnstein's (1970) response-strength equation vary with schedule order.

Six male Wistar rats were exposed to different orders of reinforcement schedules to investigate if estimates from Herrnstein's (1970) single-operant matching law equation would vary systematically with schedule order. Reinforcement schedules were arranged in orders of increasing and decreasing reinforcement rate. Subsequently, all rats were exposed to a single reinforcement schedule within a se...

Qualitatively Constrained Equation Discovery

Equation discovery is a very lively area of artificial intelligence which deals with explaining phenomena by mathematical formulae induced from the data. One successful approach to the problem are algorithms which construct thousands of formulae and report the simplest ones with the best fit to the data. Another, sub-symbolic, fits (piecewise) regression hyper-planes; their advantage is that th...

A quantitative analysis of the effects of qualitatively different reinforcers on fixed ratio responding in inbred strains of mice.

Previous studies of inbred mouse strains have shown reinforcer-strain interactions that may potentially mask differences among strains in memory performance. The present research examined the effects of two qualitatively different reinforcers (heterogeneous mix of flavored pellets and sweetened-condensed milk) on responding maintained by fixed-ratio schedules of reinforcement in three inbred st...

Nicotine Enhances Operant Responding for Qualitatively Distinct Reinforcers Under Maintenance and Extinction Conditions.

RATIONALE Nicotine enhancement of reward has been implicated as an important contributor to tobacco addiction. Despite the attention that reward enhancement has received, the behavioral mechanisms whereby nicotine enhances operant responding remain largely unknown. The present study sought to extend previous work by evaluating the effects of nicotine on responding for two qualitatively differen...
