Sequences of audits, tax compliance, and taxpaying strategies (2009, positive): “A ﬁxed-ratio schedule (reinforcement of every n th behavior) leads to post-reinforcement pauses of responding followed by accelerated responses until the next reinforcement occurs (Angermeier, 1994; Ferster & Skinner, 1957; for an overview of reinforcement schedules see Skinner, 1969).”
Building health behavior models to guide the development of just-in-time adaptive interventions: A pragmatic framework (2015, background): “…the importance of concepts such as shaping (i.e., training by reinforcing successively improving approximations of a desired behavior; Bouton, 2007; Ferster & Skinner, 1957) and teachable moments (i.e., a time when a person is more likely to internalize information and take action; e.g., Fisher,…”
Lab Labor: What can Labor Economists Learn from the Lab? (2010, neutral): “See for example Ferster and Skinner (1957), Barofsky and Hurwicz (1968) and Kelsey and Allison (1976).”
Assuming the Mantle: Unpacking the Process by Which Individuals Internalize a Leader Identity (2009, positive): “First, a long history of research on motivational processes concludes that behaviors not positively reinforced are less likely to be repeated in the future (Ferster & Skinner, 1957).”
Video Game Structural Characteristics: A New Psychological Taxonomy (2009, background): “Intermittent Reward Features According to operant conditioning theory (Ferster and Skinner 1957), the way in which a player is rewarded for playing a video game is more important than the rewards themselves.”
Non-commercial Research and Educational Use including without Limitation Use in Instruction at Your Institution, Sending It to Specific Colleagues That You Know, and Providing a Copy to Your Institution's Administrator. All Other Uses, Reproduction and Distribution, including without Limitation Comm (2005, neutral): “…decoupling, multiple quantum NMR (MQ–NMR) techniques , computer experiments such as molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo type simulations to estimate the degree of orientational order, and the use of 'magic mixtures' in combination with simple phenomenological models to estimate order parameters.”
Delay discounting: I'm a k, you're a k. (2011, background): “When behavior produces a reinforcer, the reinforcer increases the likelihood that behavior will occur again (Ferster & Skinner, 1957).”
Promoting habit formation (2013, background): “It has been proposed that, if extrinsic rewards are to be used for habit formation purposes, the individual should have limited awareness that changes in behaviour result in changes in an external reward (Ferster & Skinner, 1957; Wood & Neal, 2009).”
