Nicotine Acutely Enhances Reinforcement from Non-Drug Rewards in Humans
- Psychology, BiologyFront. Psychiatry
- 2017
The limited controlled research to date directly assessing nicotine’s acute reinforcement-enhancing effects in humans, particularly as it relates to reinforced behavioral responding for non-drug rewards in non-human animal models, is focused on.
Potential sex differences in the pattern of sensory reinforcers enhanced by nicotine.

- 2016
Results confirm the comparability of the reinforcement enhancing effects of nicotine via smoking on both auditory and visual rewards, consistent with the notion that enhanced sensory reinforcement may contribute to persistence of smoking behavior, but also suggest the specific pattern of sensory reinforcers enhanced by nicotine may differ between men and women.

Sensory reinforcement-enhancing effects of nicotine via smoking.
- Psychology, BiologyExperimental and clinical psychopharmacology
- 2014
Results that generalize from an auditory to a visual reward confirm that acute nicotine intake per se enhances the reinforcing value of sensory rewards, but its effects on the value of other (perhaps nonsensory) types of rewards may be more modest.

Women have played, and continue to play, an important role in behavior analysis. Their participation as authors of journal articles and as journal editors was first quantified in 1983 and has been…
Computational simulation and the search for a quantitative description of simple reinforcement schedules
- PsychologyArXiv
- 2021
This paper presents a R script named Beak, built to simulate rates of behavior interacting with schedules of reinforcement, and proposes that the best feedback function for the RI schedule was published by Baum (1981), and that the model used by Killeen (1975) is a viable feedbackfunction for the RDRL schedule.
