Effects of Click + Continuous Food Vs. Click + Intermittent Food on the Maintenance of Dog Behavior.
… food should be delivered every time the clicker (conditioned reinforcer) is used. However, presenting a conditioned reinforcer without food can weaken the strength of the conditioned reinforcer and also disrupt its discriminative stimulus function. A within subjects reversal design was used with 2 …

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 …

The Near Miss in Simulated Slot Machine Play: The Role of Conditioned Reinforcement
… of a near miss does, in fact, function as a conditioned reinforcer in slot machine gambling.

Reducing Vocal Stereotypic Behavior in a Child with Fragile X Syndrome by Implementing the Response Interruption and Redirection (RIRD) Method
… and redirection (RIRD) method and adding reinforcers and a negative punisher to the original method. The vocal stereotypy was targeted in two different situations; playtime with an iPad and breakfast. In the iPad situation a reinforcer and a punisher were added to the RIRD method but in …

Higher Order Conditioning of the Eyeblink Reflex
… learning. In this paradigm an initially neutral conditioned stimulus (CS - e.g. an auditory tone or light) that elicits no response is paired with an aversive unconditioned stimulus (US -e.g. an air puff to the eye ) that elicits an innate reflex blink response. A CS paired with the US at a fixed …

CONDITIONED REINFORCEMENT FROM SHOCK TERMINATION.
… termination of shock would acquire a positive conditioned reinforcing function. Previous investigators have suggested that a stimulus paired with shock termination must increase the frequency of a response upon which it is made contingent. This test for conditioned reinforcement is incomplete …

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 …

The Effects of Combining Positive and Negative Reinforcement During Training.
… behavior by pulling the leash, and delivering a reinforcer. Three other behaviors were trained using the two cues contingent on their occurrence. The results suggest that stimuli associated with both a positive reinforcer and an aversive stimulus produce a different dynamic than a situation that …
