Cognition and behavior exhibit biases consistent with future expectations, and some of
these biases result in momentum-like effects and have been linked with the idea of …

The future actions, behaviors, and outcomes of objects, individuals, and processes can often
be anticipated, and some of these anticipations have been hypothesized to result from …

Renewal is a relapse phenomenon that occurs when the contextual stimuli present during
extinction change, and consequently, an extinguished response increases in rate. Two …

Behavioral momentum theory is a quantitative framework asserting that reinforcers obtained
in the presence of a discriminative-stimulus context govern the persistence of behavior, as …

The behavior of an organism often exhibits biases consistent with an anticipation of future
behavior. One such type of bias results in momentum-like effects in which past behavior is …

Our everyday behavior often is faced with challenges. The extent to which behavior persists
when faced with a disruptor is termed resistance to change (Nevin, 1974), and this …

Previous research suggests that organisms allocate more attention to stimuli associated with
higher reinforcer rates. This finding has been replicated several times when stimuli are …

We investigated the effects of differential and nondifferential reinforcers on divided control by
compound‐stimulus dimensions. Six pigeons responded in a delayed matching‐to‐sample …

Previous research suggests that when multiple stimuli signal the location of future
reinforcers, the extent of control by each stimulus depends on the relative reinforcer …

The same behavior that is appropriate in some situations may be inappropriate in others.
The consequences that are likely to result from our behavior—and, by extension, the extent …
