Although the influence of reinforcement history is a theoretical focus of behavior analysis, the specific behavioral effects of reinforcement history have received relatively little attention in applied research and practice. We examined the potential effects of reinforcement history by reviewing nonhuman, human operant, and applied research and interpreted the findings in relation to possible applied significance. The focus is on reinforcement history effects in the context of reinforcement schedules commonly used either to strengthen behavior (e.g., interval schedules) or commonly used to decrease behavior (e.g., extinction).
尽管强化历史的影响是行为分析的一个理论焦点,但强化历史的具体行为效应在应用研究和实践中受到的关注相对较少。我们通过回顾非人类、人类操作性以及应用研究来考察强化历史的潜在效应,并结合可能的应用意义对研究结果进行解释。重点在于强化历史效应在常用于强化行为(如间隔强化程序)或常用于减少行为(如消退)的强化程序背景下的情况。
