Recent research has demonstrated that some participants prefer to complete a larger series of responses in exchange for a longer duration of reinforcer access, rather than completing fewer tasks associated with smaller, but more frequent, reinforcer access. This review provides a summary of this line of research, examines variables contributing to participant preference and performance under different response-reinforcer arrangements, and discusses limitations and areas for future research.
近期研究表明,一些参与者更倾向于完成一系列更多的反应,以换取更长时间的强化物获取机会,而不是完成较少与较小但更频繁的强化物获取相关的任务。本综述总结了这一系列研究,考察了在不同反应-强化物安排下影响参与者偏好和表现的变量,并讨论了局限性和未来研究的方向。
