The observed steady-state behavioral dynamics supported by unsignaled periods of reinforcement within repeating 2,000-s trials were modeled with a linear transfer function. These experiments employed improved schedule forms and analytical methods to improve the precision of the measured transfer function, compared to previous work. The refinements include both the use of multiple reinforcement periods that improve spectral coverage and averaging of independently determined transfer functions. A linear analysis was then used to predict behavior observed for three different test schedules. The fidelity of these predictions was determined.
在重复的2000秒试验中，由无信号强化期支持的观察到的稳态行为动力学用线性传递函数进行建模。与之前的工作相比，这些实验采用了改进的时间表形式和分析方法来提高测量传递函数的精度。改进包括使用多个强化期以改善频谱覆盖范围以及对独立确定的传递函数进行平均。然后使用线性分析来预测三种不同测试时间表下观察到的行为。确定了这些预测的保真度。
