An Evaluation of Resistance to Change with Unconditioned and Conditioned Reinforcers
… the evaluation of resistance to change with unconditioned and conditioned reinforcers. In Experiment 1 (Resistance to Extinction Assessment), 5 participants' behaviors were reinforced during a baseline phase on a mult VI 30 s VI 30 s schedule with either a conditioned (i.e., token) or …

Investigating Factors Underlying the Ability of Reward-Paired Cues to Function as Conditioned Reinforcers
… due in part to their ability to function as conditioned reinforcers (CRfs). In this thesis, I investigated factors underlying the ability of reward-paired stimuli to function as CRfs using the acquisition-of-a-new-response task. In Chapter 2, I examined the effects of reducing the reward …

Maintaining behavior in a child with autism using a previously neutral stimulus, a remote control tactile stimulus, as the consequence
… methods for establishing neutral stimuli as conditioned reinforcers in human subjects. Conditioned reinforcers, however, can alleviate some of the problems encountered in applied behavior analytic (ABA) therapy for children with autism, such as satiation and suitability of reinforcers for …

Human Suboptimal Choice: Identifying Alternative Procedures
… suboptimal choice when stimuli paired with food (conditioned reinforcers) followed responses that resulted in no food. This effect, though, has not been demonstrated with humans. The present study aims to replicate the results of the Cronin (1980) study to determine whether the manipulation of …

Using a Token System to Increase Compliance and Avoid Satiation during Reinforcer Preference Assessments
… are commonly administered to identify potential reinforcers for use in behavioral interventions. This study examined the effectiveness of a token intervention for increasing compliance during paired-stimulus preference assessments. Three male preschool children with hypothesized …

Reassessing the Power of One Reinforcer with an Evaluation of Learning Histories
… research has evaluated the impact of a single conditioned reinforcer delivered for a non-target behavior during shaping following a period of time without reinforcement (Hunter & Rosales-Ruiz, 2019). Findings suggested that the non-target behavior consequated with the conditioned reinforcer …

Effects of Social Reinforcement Versus Tokens on the Spontaneous Speech of Preschoolers
… tacts are maintained specifically by social reinforcers, not simply generalized conditioned reinforcers (i.e., tokens). Thus, special attention must be paid when selecting reinforcers for teaching tacts so that the desired function is taught. Moreover, deprivation of adult-attention appears …

Neural Plasticity in the Amygdala Across the Development of an Incentive Cocaine Seeking Habit
… is substantially influenced by drug-paired conditioned stimuli (CSs). The unexpected presentation of these Pavlovian CSs does not only immediately grab attention, but it also generates arousal and motivational states manifested as approach behaviour, and invigoration of actions aimed at …

Neuropsychology of reinforcement processes in the rat
… in the control of rats’ behaviour by Pavlovian conditioned stimuli, and in their capacity to choose delayed reinforcement. First, the function of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in simple Pavlovian conditioning tasks was addressed. The ACC is a subdivision of prefrontal cortex that has …
