Obviously, while in the choice and the feeding assay both sugars lose their appetitive effect at high concentrations, the reinforcing effect shows an asymptotic dose effect function; notably, robust appetitive reinforcement is retained even at very high concentrations.
However, the robust Diagnostic Group × Reinforcement and SR × Reinforcement interactions both became non-significant when tested simultaneously.
Children with ADHD may show more robust responses to reinforcement due to their poor performance in no-reinforcement task conditions, which allows greater room for improvement; conversely, control children typically perform well on even no-reinforcement versions of tasks, and ceiling effects among this group may attenuate any possible effect of reinforcement.
Clinically, catecholamine-potentiating agents such as reboxetine have been suggested by some to be more effective at treating symptoms such as anhedonia in depression (5,10) and produce more robust effects in reinforcement paradigms in animal experimental studies than SSRIs (11).
While they may be stout and muscular in appearance, concrete buildings without a robust level of steel reinforcement can see their columns peel off in chunks and then explode when exposed to violent side-to-side shaking.
Across models, the main effect of reinforcement condition was robust, Fs = 100.8-121.1, ps < .001.001
Yokoo, R. et al. COSA-1 robusts robust homeostasis and separable licensing and reinforcement steps governing meiotic crossovers.
Awareness on the advantages of natural fibers stimulates the interest of researchers to use them as reinforcement in polymer composites for robust application.
The interpenetration and reinforcement of these polymers with mechanically robust and biocompatible synthetic polymers are appreciable.
There is a robust literature in applied behavior analysis indicating how differential reinforcement can address behaviors that serve escape functions (e.g., Hagopian, Wilson, & Wilder, 2001; Harper, Iwata, & Camp, 2013).
