Fixed-time schedule effects in combination with response-dependent schedules.
We evaluated the effects of fixed-interval (FI), fixed-time (FT), and conjoint (combined) FI FT reinforcement schedules on the responding of 3 adults who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Responding on vocational tasks decreased for 2 of 3 participants under FT alone relative to FI alone. Responding under FI FT resulted in response persistence for 2 of 3 participants. Results have implicat...
متن کاملDiscretization of a fractional order ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model, bifurcation and chaos
This paper deals with a ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model with a fractional order derivative. The ratio-dependent models are very interesting, since they expose neither the paradox of enrichment nor the biological control paradox. We study the local stability of equilibria of the original system and its discretized counterpart. We show that the discretized system, which is...
متن کاملExtended pausing by humans on multiple fixed-ratio schedules with varied reinforcer magnitude and response requirements.
We conducted three experiments to reproduce and extend Perone and Courtney's (1992) study of pausing at the beginning of fixed-ratio schedules. In a multiple schedule with unequal amounts of food across two components, they found that pigeons paused longest in the component associated with the smaller amount of food (the lean component), but only when it was preceded by the rich component. In o...
متن کاملEffects of phentermine on responding maintained under multiple fixed-ratio schedules of food and cocaine presentation in the rhesus monkey.
Drugs that decrease drug-maintained responding at doses that do not decrease other behaviors in animals may be suitable candidates for development as medications to treat drug abuse in humans. The present study examined whether this effect could be obtained with phentermine, a drug that has been reported to decrease cocaine intake in humans. Rhesus monkeys were trained under multiple fixed-rati...
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...
