Learn Behav
. 2025 Mar;
PMID: 40038201
In Pavlovian sensitization, conditioned stimuli are said to activate response modes (e.g., feeding, sexual, or fear), which result in an increase in the response to other stimuli that activate the...

J Exp Anal Behav
. 2023 Nov;
121(1):27-37.
PMID: 38010287
An examination of innate behavior and its possible origins suggests parallels with the formation of habitual behavior. Inflexible but adaptive responses-innate reflexive behavior, Pavlovian conditioned responses, and operant habits-may have...

J Exp Psychol Anim Learn Cogn
. 2023 Oct;
49(4):273-288.
PMID: 37883031
In a typical feature-positive discrimination, responding is reinforced (+) during the target stimulus (A) on trials with the feature stimulus (X), but not during target-alone trials (A-). When X and...

Q J Exp Psychol (Hove)
. 2021 Feb;
74(7):1305-1311.
PMID: 33535928
A change in motivational state does not guarantee a change in operant behaviour. Only after an organism has had contact with an outcome while in a relevant motivational state does...

. 2018 Mar;
73(7):918-929.
PMID: 29553760

Behav Processes
. 2017 Jan;
137:84-97.
PMID: 28088553
In an operant serial feature-positive procedure, an occasion setter (OS) signals that a response will be reinforced in the presence of a second stimulus (e.g., a discriminative stimulus, A). During...

Learn Behav
. 2016 Feb;
44(3):270-82.
PMID: 26895979
Extensive research has shown that the variability of organismal behavior is great when contingent reinforcement is delayed, small, or improbable. This research has generally employed stable response-reinforcer relationships, and therefore...

J Exp Psychol Anim Learn Cogn
. 2015 Oct;
41(4):371-7.
PMID: 26437383
We investigated extinction and spontaneous recovery of spatial associations using a landmark-based appetitive search task in a touchscreen preparation with pigeons. Four visual landmarks (A, B, C, and D) were...

J Exp Psychol Anim Learn Cogn
. 2015 Mar;
41(2):163-78.
PMID: 25734755
A spatial task was used to investigate if a stimulus could set the occasion for responding to a landmark. Pigeons were trained with a positive occasion setter (OS; a colored...
