Nickerson Casey J. Clay Andrew L Samaha Psicología Choice humans concurrent operant negative reinforcement parameters of reinforcement The present experiment examined whether identical manipulations of identical parameters of positive and negative sound reinforcement influenced human response allocation in different ways. Three undergraduate students participated. Progressive-ratio schedules were used to identify preferred and aversive sounds the contingent presentation (or removal) of which had similar reinforcing values. These reinforcers then were incorporated into concurrent-operant parameter sensitivity assessments (PSAs) to evaluate whether participant sensitivity to dimensions of certain parameters (i.e., rate, magnitude, delay) differed across positive and negative reinforcement procedures. Sensitivity was identical across the two procedures for two participants, but not for the third. These results demonstrate positive-reinforcement PSAs do not always predict differential sensitivity to parametric manipulations of negative reinforcement. The implication, that positive and negative processes can have functionally distinct effects, is discussed. 2019 artículo científico 0185-4534 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=59367995002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/593/59367995002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/593/59367995002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/593/59367995002/59367995002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/593/59367995002/movil https://doi.org/10.5514/rmac.v45.i2.75562 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=593 Revista Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta Revista Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta (México) Num.2 Vol.45
