Operant response rates often change within experimental sessions, sometimes increasing
and then decreasing. The authors attribute these changes to sensitization and habituation to …

This study investigated the internal reliability, temporal stability and plasticity of commonly
used measures of inhibition-related functions. Stop-signal, go/no-go, antisaccade, Simon …

In this paper we propose an integrative model of habituation of reinforcer effectiveness
(HRE) that links behavioral-and neural-based explanations of reinforcement. We argue that …

When the procedure is held constant within an experimental session, responding often
changes systematically within that session. Many of these within‐session changes in …

The idea that reinforcers control behaviour because they alter behaviour's strength has been
key to both research and practice in behaviour analysis. Yet despite substantial research …

The amount of food necessary to cause within-session decreases in response rates was
investigated by varying reinforcer duration (Experiment 1) and grain size (Experiment 2) …

Previous research has demonstrated that running in a rotating wheel functions as a
reinforcer for leverpressing in rats. In these studies, the pattern of responding was similar to …

Herrnstein's (1970) hyperbolic matching equation describes the relationship between
response rate and reinforcement rate. It has two estimated parameters, k and Re. According …

Previous research has shown that running increases as body weight decreases. One
interpretation of this relationship is that motivation to run increases as body weight …

Pigeons' key pecking was reinforced by food delivered by several fixed‐interval, variable‐
ratio, and differential‐reinforcement‐of‐low‐rate schedules. Rate of responding, number of …
