(last updated on 2025/03/09)Abstract:
On fixed‐interval reinforcement schedules, the time‐marker initiating each interval produces a pause before the terminal response begins (inhibitory temporal control). In four experiments on temporal control, two kinds of interaction in intercalated stimulus sequences were identified: confusion effects, reflecting similarities among stimuli, and attention (overshadowing) effects, reflecting differential memorability. 1975 The British Psychological Society
