Source publication
The concept of response strength and the process of strengthening by reinforcement are controversial in terms of their explanatory power. We clarify potential theoretical misconceptions following from a strength-based account such as essentialist thinking and circular reasoning. These problems also arise in the practice of latent variable modeling...

... contingency described in this study can be abstractly described with a payoff matrix (see Fig. 1). This matrix shows the consequence of choosing either alternative (in this case conversational partners on the left, L or on the right, R) at a time t dependent on what was chosen the trial before (time t − 1). However, this does not apply to the first trial, because the time t − 1 would have no meaning in that ...

More than four decades ago, Gibbon and Balsam (1981) showed that the acquisition of Pavlovian conditioning in pigeons is directly related to the informativeness of the conditioning stimulus (CS) about the unconditioned stimulus (US), where informativeness is defined as the ratio of the US-US interval ( C ) to the CS-US interval ( T ). However, the...
