Abstract
An attempt was made to show how operant reinforcement schedules may be viewed as special cases of one general conceptual framework employing certain temporal parameters as its major independent variables. Some preliminary data were presented to show how shifts from "interval" to "ratio" response characteristics can be obtained by varying these temporal parameters.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
