Superimposition of response-independent reinforcement

Superimposition: A Language-Independent Approach to Software Composition

Superimposition is a composition technique that has been applied successfully in several areas of software development. In order to unify several languages and tools that rely on superimposition, we present an underlying language-independent model that is based on feature structure trees (FSTs). Furthermore, we offer a tool, called FSTComposer, that composes software components represented by F...

Cephalometric Superimposition

His famous dissertation, published in 1947, The Face in Profile. An Anthropological X-ray Investigation on Swedish Children and Conscripts, is an outstanding contribution. That monograph became the classic example for numerous scholars to follow so that, 25 years later, a second printing was necessary. research fellow and guest lecturer at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. In 1958 h...

Reinforcement-based response elimination: the effects of response-reinforcement interval and response specificity

Superstitious perception: response-independent reinforcement and punishment as determinants of recurring eccentric interpretations.

This study provided controlled observations of a potential mechanism for the determination of the repetitive, aberrant perceptions or interpretations of everyday events that figure prominently in a range of psychological disorders: the adventitious reinforcement of acts of cognition by the actual consequences of concurrent motor acts. Adults made a series of two-choice brightness discrimination...

Composition through Superimposition

The conventional object-oriented paradigm provides part-of, inheritance and delegation relations as means for composition of objects. Although inheritance and delegation represent a considerable improvement over the module-based third generation languages, we have experienced that certain types of composability cannot be expressed using the aforementioned techniques. In some cases, the software...
