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...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملNicotine 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...
متن کاملIdentifying Qualitatively Different Experiences: Experiments with a Mobile Robot
We present an unsupervised learning method that allows a situated embodied agent to identify and represent qualitatively diierent experiences. The occurrence of events, such as the initiation of a particular action, triggers the collection of multivariate time series of sensor values. Those time series are clustered using Dynamic Time Warping as a measure of similarity , and prototypes are extr...
متن کاملDetecting qualitatively different behaviours in complex models
We suggest that one of the main purposes of modelling is to explore the potential dynamical behaviours a system can display. Within this view, we aim to discriminate model behaviours which appear to be qualitatively different given a problem at hand. This approach fits nicely within a pre-cautionary approach to ecological and social problems aimed to inform policy-makers on the range of scenari...
