Choices of S1 were reinforced on the first 40 trials and choices of S2 on the last 40. Variable intertrial intervals (ITIs) separated the trials. The pigeons learned to reverse preference from S1 to S2 near trial 40. To see if pigeons had learned a temporal discrimination, we either doubled or halved the mean of the ITIs during test sessions. If choices were based on temporal cues, preference should reverse at the same time in the session but on half as many trials into the session when the mean ITI doubled and twice as many trials later when the mean ITI halved. Variable ITIs should reduce generalization decrement and thereby reveal temporal control more clearly. The reversal trial changed in the directions predicted by timing, but the magnitude of the change was smaller than predicted. Most individual choice patterns were consistent with temporal control, but a few were consistent with control by trial number or by the events of the previous trial. Variable ITIs seem to reduce the weight of temporal cues relative to the weight of nontemporal cues.","PeriodicalId":17411,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior","volume":"126 1","pages":"e70108"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148016152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their underlying mechanisms remain under debate. This study examined whether extinction bursts are modulated by the contingencies across multiple extinction exposures. Reinforcement contingencies were manipulated to assess whether extinction bursts increased or decreased in probability through repeated exposures to extinction, where bursts were differentially followed or not by subsequent access to food reinforcement. Twenty rats received a high-magnitude reinforcer (three pellets) under a fixed-ratio 1 schedule. Results showed that when extinction bursts were reinforced by regaining access to the reinforcement schedule, bursts persisted over successive extinction exposures, whereas repeated exposure without reinforcement led to the progressive decline of bursts. Crucially, extinction bursts did not emerge with a new response topography, suggesting that prior extinction exposure prevents their generalization to novel responses. This finding may have significant translational value for the design of interventions to minimize undesired extinction bursts across contexts or response topographies. The overall pattern of results indicates that extinction bursts are a learned phenomenon, shaped by reinforcement history and discrimination processes, and provide a basis for strategies to either promote or prevent their occurrence, depending on experimental or applied objectives.","PeriodicalId":17411,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior","volume":"126 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jeab.70119","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148265162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many everyday choices are likely influenced by how effort combines with other reinforcer characteristics, which have primarily been studied in isolation. In this experiment, we tested nine models describing how effort combines with probability to influence monetary discounting of $100 using an adjusting-amount task. Overall, participants' (N = 61) choices followed expected patterns: Steeper probability discounting was observed at higher effort levels, and steeper effort discounting was observed at lower probabilities. All nine effort-probability models described group and individual data well. Using AICc, the general theory of discounting model best described most participants' data, with Rachlin's multiplicative hyperboloid model ranking second and a multiplicative combination of Rachlin's hyperboloid for probability and a power-law for effort ranking third. In total, the results from model fitting indicate that probability and effort interact to influence choice. Existing models describe this interaction well, but future research will be needed to determine the conditions under which different models might be favored. These preliminary findings add effort-probability interactions to the literature on the multiple control of choice.","PeriodicalId":17411,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior","volume":"126 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148211684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One shortcoming of research on this topic is that baseline target response rates, used to calculate proportion-of-baseline rates as a measure of persistence, were established in the presence of reinforcement for an alternative behavior in the traditional DRA (hereafter referred to as TradDRA) condition but in isolation in the separate-context condition (SepDRA). In our procedure, using domestic hens, we first established baseline target response rates in the TradDRA and SepDRA conditions in isolation, then introduced the two DRA interventions (with separate and concurrently trained alternative behaviors), followed by disruptor tests. The disruptor was an additional response key associated with reinforcement. The main finding from this study was that by using this improved baseline measure as a frame of reference, target behavior persistence was still lower with the SepDRA procedure relative to the TradDRA procedure, aligning with findings from previous research. The improved baseline measure resulted in smaller differences between the two procedures, but these differences may still have useful applied implications.","PeriodicalId":17411,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior","volume":"126 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jeab.70117","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148211690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has shown that (a) multiple MOs may interact to affect a single operant class of behavior reinforced by a single event, (b) a single MO may affect multiple operant classes of behavior reinforced by different events, and (c) consumption of/interaction with reinforcers can have motivating functions. This suggests that the effects of MOs and how these are described are contextual in that they depend on the circumstances under which they are assessed. The current study sought to extend understanding of context-specific effects of MOs on the overall and within-session patterns of operant responding of mice when sucrose pellets and water were concurrently available as reinforcers under four different MO conditions: food deprivation, food and water deprivation, water deprivation, and no deprivation. Results demonstrated interactions between MOs in terms of their effects on the overall and within-session patterns of behavior reinforced by sucrose pellets and water, differential effects of MOs on responding for different reinforcers, and individual differences in the effects of MOs. More contextually oriented basic research on MOs may contribute to our understanding of their effects in real-world circumstances.","PeriodicalId":17411,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior","volume":"126 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148199552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One MTS procedure that might have applied and experimental value is an odor–visual matching procedure in which selection of a specific visual stimulus is reinforced following exposure to a specific odor. We evaluated such a procedure using an automated odor delivery apparatus and touchscreen apparatus for selection of arbitrary shapes. In Experiment 1, four dogs performed with above-chance accuracy when working with two odors, but only one dog met criteria to progress to training with a third odor. With the goal of improving performance, Experiment 2 involved the same procedures but added an error-correction procedure and an errorless-learning procedure. The errorless-learning procedure may have been counterproductive, as dogs performed with chance accuracy in the MTS task and failed to complete all steps of the errorless-learning procedure. In Experiment 3, we evaluated dogs' ability to perform a visual–visual matching task based closely on the procedures used in Experiment 2. This investigation produced similar findings, but two of four dogs performed with above-chance accuracy, suggesting that visual–visual matching may be established more readily than odor–visual matching.","PeriodicalId":17411,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior","volume":"126 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jeab.70116","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148156909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
