Using an arbitrary response, we evaluated fixed-time (FT) schedules that were either similar or dissimilar to a baseline (response-dependent) reinforcement schedule and extinction. Results suggested that both FT schedules and extinction resulted in decreased responding. However, FT schedules were more effective in reducing response rates if the FT reinforcer rate was dissimilar to baseline reinforcer rates. Possible reasons for this difference were evaluated with data analysis methods designed to identify adventitious response-reinforcer relations.
我们使用任意反应来评估与基线(反应依赖型)强化程序和消退程序相似或不同的固定时间(FT)程序。结果表明,FT程序和消退都会导致反应减少。然而,如果FT强化率与基线强化率不同,FT程序在降低反应率方面更有效。我们使用旨在识别偶然反应-强化关系的数据分析方法评估了这种差异的可能原因。
