Quantifying the Sequential Structure of Psychotic Behavior
نویسنده
چکیده
In its simplest form, a random reinforcement, choice task experiment is one in which the subject makes choices in an attempt to guess the outcome of a random number generator. The subject does not know that the pattern is random and will try to construct different strategies to increase the frequency of correct guesses. Differences in the pattern of choices are observed when clinical populations are compared against healthy controls. Additionally, the choice sequences of animals obtained before and after the administration of drugs can show marked differences. This contribution identifies mathematical methods from symbolic dynamics that can be used to provide a quantitative characterization of the sequential structure of behavior.
