Sentence examples for reinforcement rate from inspiring English sources

The maximum reinforcement rate specified by the schedule was approximately 36 reinforcers per session; the obtained reinforcement rate was approximately 30 reinforcers per session (see below).

Reinforcement rate was computed for each VI as the number of reinforcers collected at each schedule, divided by the time the schedule was in effect (excluding ITIs).

The effects of reinforcement rate of alternative responding on resurgence were studied in six experiments with pigeons.

Using a successive discrimination procedure with rats, three experiments investigated the contribution of reinforcement rate and amount of SΔ exposure on the acquisition of an operant discrimination.

With or without a running wheel present, BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice nose-poked under a Percentile 10 0.5 schedule designed to select high response rates while holding reinforcement rate constant.

Response-Elimination phase reinforcement rates were manipulated systematically in subsequent experiments: In Experiment 2, reinforcement rate was equal, in one component, and lower or higher in the other, than in the Training phase.

In Experiment 3, reinforcers were discontinued before differential reinforcement rates were effected.

Greater persistence with greater training reinforcement rates is generally consistent with an influential theory of response persistence, behavioral momentum theory.

In Experiment 4, reinforcement rates first were differential and, then, equal to those in the Training phase.

In sum, it appears that higher reinforcement rates and longer SΔ exposure facilitate the acquisition of discriminated operant responding.

The present study assessed whether training reinforcement rates influenced contrafreeloading by arranging a within-subject and within-session design using pigeons.
