Tests of behavioral-economic assessments of relative reinforcer efficacy: Economic substitutes
Article Abstract:
Two behavioral-economic approaches are used to predict progressive ratio breakpoints and peak responding and traditional measures of relative reinforce efficacy that correspond to some characteristics of non-normalized demand curves. Results show that relative consumption of foot and fat in a single schedule of reinforcement had not predicted preference better than chance.

The effects of reinforcer magnitude on timing in rats
Article Abstract:
The effects of chronic presentation of two levels of reinforcer magnitude on timing in a peak procedure are studied. The results show that the increased reinforcer magnitude influences timing through larger immediate after-effects that delay responding and by anticipatory effects that elicit earlier responding.

The effects of interval duration on temporal tracking and alternation learning
Article Abstract:
Animals show a postreinforcement pause that is a function of the immediately preceding time interval on cyclic-interval reinforcement schedules. They do not track single-alternation schedules when two different intervals are presented in strict alternation on successive trials.
