We propose a novel method to dissociate incentive motivation from memory and motor processes in...
Discrete-trial training (DTT) relies critically on implementation by trained tutors. We report three experiments carried...

Erroneous beliefs among frequent fruit-machine gamblers (with Carla-Jane R. Strickland, Annie Taylor, Katie J. Hendon, and Steve Provost), Gambling Research: Journal of the National Association for Gambling Studies (Australia) (2006)
The present studies investigated the extent to which fruit-machine gamblers held erroneous beliefs, specifically the...
This study investigated the effects of team-skills training on collaborative learning in a university setting....
Despite a vast literature on collaborative learning (CL), there is little research on preparing students...
Weber's law – constancy of the coefficient of variation – is an apparently ubiquitous feature...
Participants were exposed to 3 conditions in a betweengroups design. Participants were told the experiment...
The effects of praise on student on-task behaviour, academic self-concept and numeracy enjoyment were investigated....
Human variable ratio performance (with Bob Remington, Lorraine S. D'Souza, Samantha K. Heighway, and Clara Baston), Learning and Motivation (2002)
The generality of the mathematical principles of reinforcement (MPR) was tested with humans. In Experiment...
Rats' leverpressing was reinforced on variable-ratio (VR) schedules. As ratio values increased, response rates initially...
We attempted to demonstrate that timing performance on a temporal discrimination would be enhanced if...
A clock not wound runs down (with Peter R. Killeen and Scott Hall), Behavioural Processes (1999)
Seven pigeons were trained to respond on one key during the first half of a...
The behavioral theory of timing assumes that timing is governed by a pacemaker whose pulses...
The amount of food necessary to cause within-session decreases in response rates was investigated by...
The mechanics of reinforcement (with Peter R. Killeen), Psychonomic Bulletin & Review (1998)
Mathematical principles of reinforcement were developed in order to (1) account for the interaction of...
Models of ratio schedule performance (with Peter R. Killeen), Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes (1997)
Predictions of P. R. Killeen's (1994) mathematical principles of reinforcement were tested for responding on...
Pigeons discriminated between the 1st and 2nd halves of a trial. Trial duration was varied...
In the behavioral theory of timing, pacemaker rate is determined by overall rate of reinforcement....
In the present experiment, an attempt was made to extend the base of evidence for...
In the behavioral theory of timing, pulses from a hypothetical Poisson pacemaker produce transitions between...
The assumption by the behavioral theory of timing that pacemaker rate is proportional to reinforcer...
