Abstract

The development of schedule-induced drinking depends on different variables affecting the food delivered at the end of the interfood interval. There are mixed results concerning the effects of varying magnitude and/or preference of different reinforcers in the development of schedule-induced drinking, with some studies showing higher levels and other studies showing lower levels of drinking. The purpose of this study was to observe how differences in preference for a flavor of equally nutritious food pellets influence the development and maintenance of schedule-induced drinking. Using the operant demand framework, four flavors of food pellets were compared to form two groups: one in which subjects would receive their most preferred flavor and another in which subjects would receive their least preferred flavor. In general, licking rates were lower and magazine-entering rates were higher when the preferred flavor was delivered regardless of the fixed-time schedule used. It is suggested that the value of the reinforcer has a larger influence on the immediately preceding behaviors, which will determine the distribution of competing responses in the interreinforcement intervals. These results are relevant to developing public policies that manipulate the taste of healthy food to increase its consumption.

计划诱发行为的时间分布取决于强化物的本质值。
计划性饮酒的发展取决于影响餐间间隔结束时所送食物的不同变量。关于不同强化物的不同程度和/或偏好对计划性饮酒的影响,有不同的结果,一些研究表明饮酒水平较高,另一些研究表明饮酒水平较低。本研究的目的是观察对同样营养的食物颗粒口味的偏好差异如何影响计划性饮酒的发展和维持。使用操作性需求框架,将四种口味的食物颗粒进行比较,形成两组:一组受试者将获得他们最喜欢的味道,另一组受试者将获得他们最不喜欢的味道。一般来说,不管使用固定的时间安排,当提供喜欢的味道时,舔舐率较低,进入杂志的率较高。结果表明,强化物的值对前一个行为的影响较大,这将决定在强化间隔内竞争反应的分布。这些结果与制定公共政策有关,这些政策可以操纵健康食品的味道,以增加其消费。
