The effects of signals on responding during delayed reinforcement
… with a repertoire of responses to attain reinforcement. However, caregivers may be unable or unwilling to provide immediate reinforcement when the treatment is implemented in the natural environment. Recent applied research on responding during delayed reinforcement suggests that …

Delayed Reinforcement and Delayed Response in Discrimination Learning of Developmentally Retarded Children
… in response with the same duration of delay of reinforcement in order to evaluate the possibility that reinforcement-delay alone during the standard response-delay experiment is responsible for decremental effects.

The Relative Effects of Immediate and Delayed Reinforcement on a Programed Learning Task
… effects of immediate knowledge of results and delayed knowledge of results on a programed task to determine which, if either, would result in superior learning; and (2) to explore the effect of these two variables on the amount of retention of learning over time.

Neural systems involved in delay and risk assessment in the rat
… hippocampus (H) to choice and learning involving reinforcement that was delayed or unlikely. Animals must frequently act to influence the world even when the reinforcing outcomes of their actions are delayed. Learning with action–outcome delays is a complex problem, and little is known of the …

Neuropsychology of reinforcement processes in the rat
… 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 previously been suggested to be critical for the formation …

Acquisition of observing responses with delayed conditioned reinforcement
… response) on a tandem fixed-ratio 1 differential-reinforcement-of-other-behavior 10-s schedule. For the other 3 pigeons, no contingency was implemented for treadle pressing. Treadle pressing was established equally in the presence and absence of the observing contingency. The results did not …

The Effects of Delayed Positive Reinforcement on Learning in Dogs
… a particular focus on the timing of positive reinforcement delivery. The first two studies examined sources of dog training information. Dog owners and trainers rated their own personal experiences as being the most valuable source of dog training information, followed closely by free or …

Effects of Fixed and Mixed Delays on Responding under Variable-Interval Schedules
Delays to reinforcement are ubiquitous in the natural environment, where those delays often vary. Still, most research examining delayed reinforcement has focused only on fixed delays. Little research has examined the effects of variable delays. Nonresetting fixed and mixed delays to reinforcement …

Impulsivity and risk-taking in clinical and non-clinical populations
… questionnaires, a novel discrete trials delayed reinforcement operant choice paradigm, a novel measure of financial risk-taking, and the continuous performance test which provides measures of both inattention and impulsivity. These tests varied in their ability to discriminate between …
