  2. Melioration theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melioration_theory

    Melioration theory accounts for many of the choices that organisms make when presented with two variable interval schedules. Melioration is a form of matching where the subject is constantly shifting its behavior from the poorer reinforcement schedule to the richer reinforcement schedule, until it is spending most of its time at the richest ...

  3. Mathematical principles of reinforcement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_principles_of...

    This equation predicts serious instability for non-contingent schedules of reinforcement. Fixed-interval schedules are guaranteed a strengthening of a target response, b=w1, as reinforcement is contingent on this final, contiguous response (Killeen, 1994). This coupling is equivalent to the coupling on FR 1 schedules w1=b=1-e-l.

  4. Reinforcement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement

    Concurrent-chain schedule of reinforcement' – A complex reinforcement procedure in which the participant is permitted to choose during the first link which of several simple reinforcement schedules will be in effect in the second link. Once a choice has been made, the rejected alternatives become unavailable until the start of the next trial.

  5. Delay reduction hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay_reduction_hypothesis

    The hypothesis was originally formulated to describe choice behaviour among concurrently available chained schedules of reinforcement; [2] however, the basic principle of delay reduction () as the basis for determining a stimulus’ conditionally reinforcing function can be applied more generally to other research areas.

  6. Matching law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_law

    If R 1 and R 2 are the rate of responses on two schedules that yield obtained (as distinct from programmed) rates of reinforcement Rf 1 and Rf 2, the strict matching law holds that the relative response rate R 1 / (R 1 + R 2) matches, that is, equals, the relative reinforcement rate Rf 1 / (Rf 1 + Rf 2).

  7. B. F. Skinner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._F._Skinner

    The most notable schedules of reinforcement studied by Skinner were continuous, interval (fixed or variable), and ratio (fixed or variable). All are methods used in operant conditioning. Continuous reinforcement (CRF): each time a specific action is performed the subject receives a reinforcement. This method is effective when teaching a new ...

  9. Behavioral momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_momentum

    Behavioral momentum is a theory in quantitative analysis of behavior and is a behavioral metaphor based on physical momentum.It describes the general relation between resistance to change (persistence of behavior) and the rate of reinforcement obtained in a given situation.
