A vast literature highlights the prevalence of impulsive decision making in maladaptive outcomes. Most research has focused on one form-delay discounting. Less research has focused on effort discounting, possibly because of a lack of a standardized task for assessment. In published effort-discounting tasks, effort is conceptualized in many ways, making it difficult to compare findings across studies. Additionally, most effort-discounting tasks do not control for the time inherent in completing the effortful task, which makes it difficult to disentangle effort discounting from delay discounting. The current study evaluated the validity of a novel hypothetical effort-discounting task. The novel task was used to evaluate the influence of the effort-delay confound on rates of effort discounting in humans. Participants were randomly assigned to complete a confounded or a controlled version of the novel effort-discounting task. The effort-discounting data were well described by hyperbolic and exponential functions. When effort and delay were confounded, effort-discounting rates were significantly higher than when effort alone influenced discounting. The results suggest that data that are produced by effort-discounting tasks that do not control the effort-delay confound should be interpreted cautiously because they are also influenced by delay discounting. Task limitations and future directions are discussed.

大量文献强调了冲动决策在适应不良结果中的普遍性。大多数研究都集中于一种形式--延迟贴现。对努力折扣的研究较少,这可能是因为缺乏标准化的评估任务。在已发表的努力折扣任务中,努力的概念有很多种,因此很难比较不同研究的结果。此外,大多数努力折扣任务并不控制完成努力任务所固有的时间,这就很难将努力折扣与延迟折扣区分开来。本研究评估了一项新的假设性努力折扣任务的有效性。这项新任务被用来评估努力-延迟混淆对人类努力折扣率的影响。受试者被随机分配完成一个混淆版或控制版的新式努力折扣任务。双曲线和指数函数很好地描述了努力折扣数据。当努力和延迟相混合时,努力折扣率明显高于仅受努力影响的折扣率。研究结果表明,如果努力-折扣任务没有控制努力-延迟混杂因素,则应谨慎解释这些数据,因为它们也会受到延迟折扣的影响。本文讨论了任务的局限性和未来发展方向。

Resurgence is defined as an increase in a previously extinguished target response (B1) resulting from the worsening of conditions for a more recently reinforced alternative response (B2). Worsening includes extinction or reductions in rate, amount, and immediacy of delivery of food or some other phylogenetically important event (PIE). In the first part of the article, we apply the laws of allocation, induction, and covariance to understand not only resurgence of operant activity previously covarying with the PIE (B1) but also a constellation of ontogenetic and phylogenetic activities both related to the PIE (B0) and unrelated to the PIE (BN). In the second part, we discuss how induction might be incorporated into and provide alternative processes within an existing matching-based framework, resurgence as choice (RaC). We begin to identify how this range of activities could depend on changes in the relative competitive weight (V) of all available activities (B1, B2, B0, BN) in addition to only those receiving explicit training (B1, B2). Future empirical and theoretical research is needed within this framework to provide a more complete understanding of resurgence and behavior more generally.

死灰复燃的定义是,由于最近被强化的替代反应(B2)的条件恶化,导致先前被熄灭的目标反应(B1)增加。恶化包括食物或一些其他系统发育上重要事件(PIE)的灭绝或递送速度、数量和即时性的降低。在文章的第一部分,我们运用分配、诱导和协变法则来理解以前与 PIE(B1)共变的操作活动的恢复,以及与 PIE(B0)相关和无关的本体和系统发育活动(BN)的组合。在第二部分中,我们将讨论如何将归纳法纳入现有的基于匹配的框架--作为选择的复苏(RaC)--中,并在其中提供替代过程。我们开始确定活动范围如何取决于所有可用活动(B1、B2、B0、BN)的相对竞争权重(V)的变化,而不仅仅是那些接受明确培训的活动(B1、B2)。未来需要在这一框架内开展实证和理论研究,以便更全面地了解复活和一般行为。

Influence of amount and delay of reward on choice and response rate: A free‐operant, multiple‐schedule analogue of a discrete‐trial procedure 奖励金额和延迟对选择和反应率的影响:离散试验程序的自由操作、多计划模拟法

The current study explored a free‐operant analogue of discrete‐trial procedures to study the effects of amount and delay of reinforcement on choice and response rate. Rats responded on a multiple variable‐interval (VI) 45‐s, 45‐s schedule, with interspersed choice probe trials. Comparison of relative response rates and percentage of choice revealed some discrepancies between the free‐operant analogue and discrete‐trial procedures. Amount of reward controlled choice behavior when the ratios of delays were similar. When reward delays were more discrepant, delay length controlled choice behavior. Whereas the percentage of choice was larger for the larger magnitude reward, the relative rate of response for the larger magnitude was less than .50. In contrast, when the percentage of choice generally fell to below 50% (with large amount and large delay differences between alternatives), relative response rate indicated a preference for the larger amount alternative. This study shows the feasibility and utility of a free‐operant analogue of discrete‐choice studies that could be used to develop an analysis of preference.
本研究探索了离散试验的自由操作类似程序,以研究强化量和延迟对选择和反应率的影响。大鼠在一个 45 秒、45 秒的多重可变间隔 (VI) 计划表中做出反应,其中穿插了选择探究试验。比较相对反应率和选择百分比发现,自由操作模拟程序和离散试验程序之间存在一些差异。当延迟比例相似时,奖励量控制着选择行为。当奖励延迟差异较大时,延迟长度控制选择行为。虽然较大奖励量的选择比例较大,但较大奖励量的相对反应率却小于 0.50。相反,当选择百分比普遍降至 50%以下时(选择金额大且延迟差异大的替代品),相对反应率显示出对金额大的替代品的偏好。这项研究表明,自由操作模拟离散选择研究的可行性和实用性,可用于偏好分析。

Cannabis demand is sensitive to next‐day responsibilities, such as job interviews; however, it is unclear how demand is affected by non‐work‐related responsibilities and how reported compatibility of cannabis use (i.e., how suitable one perceives cannabis use to be in a situation) influences demand. This study examined the effects of a range of responsibilities on cannabis demand in a crowdsourced sample of adults who smoked cannabis at least monthly (n = 177; 78% White; 47% women; mean age = 36.52). Participants completed hypothetical marijuana purchase tasks asking how much cannabis they would consume at escalating prices in the context of no responsibilities and next‐day responsibilities spanning work, leisure, and caregiving. Cannabis demand was significantly reduced in all responsibility conditions (ps < .008; ds .28–.94), with the largest reductions for the job interview and caring‐for‐kids conditions. Higher ratings of suitability of cannabis use in each situation were correlated with higher demand. Finally, a qualitative thematic analysis characterized why cannabis use was considered suitable or unsuitable with each responsibility. These results suggest that demand is sensitive to next‐day responsibilities. However, these effects are not uniform, and future research is needed to examine these individual differences and the timing of upcoming responsibilities.
大麻需求对第二天的责任(如求职面试)很敏感;然而,目前还不清楚与工作无关的责任对需求有何影响,也不清楚所报告的大麻使用兼容性(即个人认为在某种情况下使用大麻的合适程度)对需求有何影响。本研究以至少每月吸食一次大麻的成年人(n = 177;78% 白人;47% 女性;平均年龄 = 36.52)为众包样本,研究了一系列责任对大麻需求的影响。参与者完成了假设的大麻购买任务,询问在无责任和次日责任(包括工作、休闲和照料)的情况下,他们会以不断攀升的价格消费多少大麻。在所有责任条件下,大麻需求量都明显减少(ps < .008; ds .28-.94),其中工作面试和照顾孩子条件下的减少量最大。对每种情况下使用大麻的适宜性评价越高,需求量越大。最后,一项定性专题分析描述了在每种责任中使用大麻被认为合适或不合适的原因。这些结果表明,需求对第二天的责任很敏感。然而,这些影响并不一致,未来的研究需要考察这些个体差异和即将承担责任的时间。

Willingness to wait outperforms delay discounting in predicting drinking severity 在预测酗酒严重程度方面,等待意愿优于延迟贴现

Alcohol misuse ranks among the leading causes of preventable death worldwide. Therefore, discovering measures that can predict hazardous drinking is critical. The delay discounting paradigm—which assesses relative preference for immediate rewards over larger, later rewards—has frequently been used as a proxy for impulsive choice, but it does not capture how long someone is willing to wait for delayed rewards when the arrival time is uncertain. In contrast, a newer willingness‐to‐wait task measures how long someone is willing to wait for a delayed reward of uncertain timing before giving up. We hypothesized that performance in this willingness‐to‐wait task would be associated with drinking severity and that this task may even outperform delay discounting as a predictor of drinking severity. We pooled data from multiple studies of mostly college‐aged adult participants. Drinking severity was assessed with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Willingness to wait under temporal uncertainty, but not delay discounting, was associated with severity of alcohol problems among participants who drank (n = 212). Individuals engaging in hazardous drinking were less willing to wait for rewards when delays were unknown than were individuals with low‐risk drinking habits. Thus, willingness to wait under temporal uncertainty may be an important predictor of problematic drinking.
滥用酒精是导致全球可预防死亡的主要原因之一。因此,发现能够预测危险饮酒的措施至关重要。延迟折现范式评估的是人们对即时奖励的相对偏好,而不是对较大的、较晚的奖励的偏好,它经常被用作冲动选择的替代物,但它并不能反映出当到达时间不确定时,人们愿意为延迟的奖励等待多长时间。与此相反,一项较新的等待意愿任务测量的是一个人在放弃之前愿意等待不确定时间的延迟奖励多长时间。我们假设,在这项 "愿意等待 "任务中的表现会与酗酒严重程度相关,而且在预测酗酒严重程度方面,这项任务甚至可能优于延迟折现。我们汇集了多项研究的数据,这些研究的参与者大多是大学生。饮酒严重程度通过酒精使用障碍鉴定测试进行评估。在有饮酒行为的参与者(n = 212)中,时间不确定性下的等待意愿与酗酒问题的严重程度相关,而延迟折现与酗酒问题的严重程度无关。与有低风险饮酒习惯的人相比,有危险饮酒习惯的人在延迟未知的情况下更不愿意等待奖励。因此,在时间不确定情况下的等待意愿可能是预测问题饮酒的一个重要因素。

The purpose of the current study was to extend the research on the possible role of verbal mediation in the establishment of comparative relations. We conducted four experiments in which 14 participants received conditional discrimination training with nonarbitrary and arbitrary stimuli, followed by derived comparative and transformation of function tests. Participants learned to select the smallest or biggest comparison across multiple exemplars in the presence of abstract samples. Next, participants learned to select arbitrary comparisons in the presence of contextual cues to establish a size ranking among comparisons. To assess verbal mediation during mutual and combinatorial entailment tests, participants were instructed to talk out loud. When they failed to perform correctly during derived relations tests, participants were trained to tact and intraverbally relate stimuli. The results suggest that relational training alone was not sufficient to establish comparative relations and that adult participants engaged in problem solving consistent with intraverbal bidirectional naming during emergent relations tests.

本研究的目的是扩展有关言语中介在建立比较关系中可能扮演的角色的研究。我们进行了四次实验,让 14 名参与者接受了非任意刺激和任意刺激的条件辨别训练,然后进行了推导比较和功能转换测试。在抽象样本面前,参与者学会了在多个示例中选择最小或最大的比较。接下来,参与者学会了在有上下文线索的情况下选择任意比较,以确定比较的大小排序。为了评估相互引申和组合引申测试中的言语中介作用,参与者被要求大声说话。当他们在推导关系测试中表现不佳时,参与者会接受触觉和内部言语关联刺激的训练。结果表明,仅靠关系训练不足以建立比较关系,成年参与者在衍生关系测试中参与的问题解决方式与言内双向命名一致。

Resurgence can be defined as increases in previously reinforced and subsequently extinguished target responding when conditions for an alternative response worsen. Worsening of alternative conditions, such as extinction, has been linked to relapse of clinically relevant behavior. Preclinical researchers have evaluated whether punishing target responses while differentially reinforcing an alternative response could reduce resurgence when conditions are worsened with extinction, with mixed results. In the present investigation, we systematically replicated this line of research with human participants recruited via crowdsourcing, using response cost as punishment. During Phase 1, we reinforced target responses with 100 points per delivery, exchangeable for money. During Phase 2, we reinforced alternative responses, discontinued point reinforcement for target responses, and parametrically manipulated across groups the magnitude of point loss (1, 100, 320, or 1,000 points) contingent on target responses. During Phase 3, we tested for resurgence by extinguishing target and alternative responses. Added punishment systematically decreased target responding during Phase 2 but did not influence resurgence during Phase 3. With a meta-analysis, we compared our findings with existing research examining a range of punishers and species. The results of the meta-analysis comport with the present findings, suggesting that the inclusion of punishment reduces target responding during DRA but, overall, has no systematic effects on resurgence.

复发可定义为当替代反应的条件恶化时,先前被强化随后又被熄灭的目标反应的增加。替代条件的恶化(如熄灭)与临床相关行为的复发有关。临床前研究人员评估了在惩罚目标反应的同时对替代反应进行不同程度的强化,是否能在条件恶化(如消退)时减少目标反应的复发,结果喜忧参半。在本研究中,我们通过众包招募的人类参与者系统地复制了这一研究思路,并使用反应成本作为惩罚手段。在第 1 阶段,我们以每次交付 100 分的代价来强化目标反应,这种代价可以换取金钱。在第 2 阶段,我们强化了替代反应,停止了对目标反应的积分强化,并对各组目标反应的积分损失幅度(1、100、320 或 1000 分)进行了参数化处理。在第三阶段,我们通过熄灭目标反应和替代反应来测试其恢复情况。在第二阶段,增加惩罚会系统性地减少目标反应,但不会影响第三阶段的恢复。通过荟萃分析,我们将我们的研究结果与对一系列惩罚者和物种的现有研究结果进行了比较。荟萃分析的结果与本研究结果一致,表明加入惩罚会减少 DRA 期间的目标反应,但总体上不会对恢复产生系统性影响。

Added punishment systematically decreased target responding during Phase 2 but did not influence resurgence during Phase 3. With a meta-analysis, we compared our findings with existing research examining a range of punishers and species. The results of the meta-analysis comport with the present findings, suggesting that the inclusion of punishment reduces target responding during DRA but, overall, has no systematic effects on resurgence.</p>","PeriodicalId":17411,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142036182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principles of social justice, equity, diversity, inclusion (JEDI) have received increasing attention in behavior analysis circles, but the conversation has largely centered on implications for applied behavior analysis practice and research. It may be less clear to researchers who conduct basic and translational research how JEDI principles can inform and inspire their work. This article synthesizes publications from behavior analysis and other scientific fields about tactics of JEDI-informed research. We organized this scholarship across five stages of research from developing the research question to sharing findings and curated sources for an audience of behavioral science researchers. We discuss reflexive practice, representation, belongingness, participatory research, quantitative critical theory, and open science, among other topics. Some researchers may have already adopted some of the practices outlined, some may begin new practices, and some may choose to conduct experimental analyses of JEDI problems. Our hope is that those actions will be reinforced by the behavior analysis scientific community. We conclude by encouraging the leadership of this journal to continue to work toward the structural changes necessary to make the experimental analysis of behavior just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive.

社会正义、公平、多样性、包容(JEDI)原则在行为分析界受到越来越多的关注,但对话主要集中在对应用行为分析实践和研究的影响上。从事基础研究和转化研究的研究人员可能不太清楚 JEDI 原则如何为他们的工作提供信息和启发。本文综合了来自行为分析和其他科学领域的有关以 JEDI 为指导的研究策略的出版物。从提出研究问题到为行为科学研究人员受众分享研究结果和整理资料来源,我们将这一学术研究分为五个研究阶段。我们讨论了反思性实践、代表性、归属感、参与式研究、定量批判理论和开放科学等主题。有些研究人员可能已经采用了概述的某些实践,有些可能开始了新的实践,有些可能选择对 JEDI 问题进行实验分析。我们希望这些行动能够得到行为分析科学界的支持。最后,我们鼓励本刊的领导层继续努力,进行必要的结构改革,使行为实验分析变得公正、公平、多样化和具有包容性。

R2 should not be used to describe behavioral-economic discounting and demand models R2 不应用于描述行为经济贴现和需求模型。

Literature concerning operant behavioral economics shows a strong preference for the coefficient of determination (R2) metric to (a) describe how well an applied model accounts for variance and (b) depict the quality of collected data. Yet R2 is incompatible with nonlinear modeling. In this report, we provide an updated discussion of the concerns with R2. We first review recent articles that have been published in the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior that employ nonlinear models, noting recent trends in goodness-of-fit reporting, including the continued reliance on R2. We then examine the tendency for these metrics to bias against linear-like patterns via a positive correlation between goodness of fit and the primary outputs of behavioral-economic modeling. Mathematically, R2 is systematically more stringent for lower values for discounting parameters (e.g., k) in discounting studies and lower values for the elasticity parameter (α) in demand analysis. The study results suggest there may be heterogeneity in how this bias emerges in data sets of varied composition and origin. There are limitations when using any goodness-of-fit measure to assess the systematic nature of data in behavioral-economic studies, and to address those we recommend the use of algorithms that test fundamental expectations of the data.

有关操作行为经济学的文献显示,人们非常喜欢用判定系数(R2)指标来(a)描述应用模型对方差的解释程度,以及(b)描述所收集数据的质量。然而,R2 与非线性建模并不兼容。在本报告中,我们将对 R2 的问题进行最新讨论。我们首先回顾了最近发表在《行为实验分析期刊》上的采用非线性模型的文章,注意到拟合优度报告的最新趋势,包括对 R2 的持续依赖。然后,我们通过拟合优度与行为经济模型主要输出结果之间的正相关关系,研究了这些指标偏向于线性模式的趋势。从数学角度看,在贴现研究中,贴现参数(如 k)值越低,需求分析中的弹性参数(α)值越低,R2 就越严格。研究结果表明,在不同组成和来源的数据集中,这种偏差的出现可能存在差异。使用任何拟合优度来评估行为经济学研究中数据的系统性都存在局限性,为了解决这些问题,我们建议使用测试数据基本预期的算法。
