Behavioral Contrast As A Function Of Component Duration And Baseline Rate Of Reinforcement, James Dougan, Frances Mcsweeney, Valeri Farmer, Jennifer Higa Dec 1985

Behavioral Contrast As A Function Of Component Duration And Baseline Rate Of Reinforcement, James Dougan, Frances Mcsweeney, Valeri Farmer, Jennifer Higa

James Dougan

Three experiments examined changes in size of multiple-schedule behavioral contrast with changes in an independent variable. Experiment 1 found that positive contrast generally increased with increases in component duration when pigeons pressed treadles. Experiments 2 and 3 found that positive and negative contrast generally increased with increases in the baseline rates of reinforcement when pigeons pecked keys. The experiments show that positive and negative contrast vary as similar functions of the same variables. Experiment 1 also suggests that these functions are different for different responses.

End-User Information-Seeking In The Energy Field: Implications For End-User Access To Doe Recon Databases, Christine L. Borgman, Donald O. Case Dec 1985

End-User Information-Seeking In The Energy Field: Implications For End-User Access To Doe Recon Databases, Christine L. Borgman, Donald O. Case

Christine L. Borgman

A software research and development project for the U.S. Department of Energy provided an opportunity to explore the information-seeking behavior of energy researchers. The DOE project, entitled “Online Access to Knowledge,” or “OAK,” is developing a microcomputer interface for improving end-user access to energy databases. Interviews with 18 researchers and 34 search intermediaries in energy-related fields indicate a reliance on databases as sources of information. The interview data suggest a migration of searchers toward commercial systems that offer the widest choice of database coverage. Despite previous efforts to encourage direct use of RECON databases, most energy researchers interviewed preferred that …
