Abstract

The present study examined the temporal characteristics of play exhibited by recreational slot machine players. 12 women (M = 24 yr., range 22-28) played a computerized version of a slot machine with probability of payoff, i.e., a winning spin, ranging from .2 to .6. Intertrial intervals or the time between the termination of one trial to the initiation of the next trial varied within subjects as a function of wins and losses. Winning trials were associated with larger intertrial intervals and losing trials with smaller intertrial intervals for 10 of the 12 women. No differences were found across probability levels between subjects. Results are discussed in terms of the post-reinforcement pause that occurs on specific schedules of reinforcement.

摘要

本研究考察了娱乐性老虎机玩家游戏行为的时间特征。12名女性（平均年龄M = 24岁，范围22 - 28岁）玩了一款电脑版老虎机，其赔付概率（即赢的旋转）在0.2到0.6之间。试验间隔，即从一次试验结束到下一次试验开始的时间，在被试内根据输赢情况而变化。对于12名女性中的10名，赢的试验与较大的试验间隔相关，而输的试验与较小的试验间隔相关。在不同概率水平上，被试之间未发现差异。研究结果根据在特定强化程序中出现的强化后停顿进行了讨论。
