Resistance to change of responding maintained by unsignaled delays to reinforcement: A response-bout analysis

Article Abstract:

An interrespone times (IRTs)-cutoff method was used to examine underlying response structure because log survivor functions of IRTs deviated from simple modes of bout initiations and within-bout responding. The analyses suggest that baseline rates of initiating bouts of responding decreased as scheduled delays increased, and within-bout response rates tended to be lower in the component with immediate reinforcers.

Matching and conditioned reinforcement rate

Article Abstract:

Concurrent observing responses are used to examine sensitivity of choice to relative conditioned reinforcement rate. The results are inconsistent with delay reduction theory, which has no terms for the effects of rate of conditioned reinforcement in the absence of change in rate of primary reinforcement.
