In their latest episode, Robert and Joe of Stuff to Blow Your Mind explore the history and psychology of the one-armed bandit. They mentioned near wins and losses disguised as wins and some talk-aloud research published in the Journal of Gambling Studies and the Journal of Psychology. They didn't talk about how rats and pigeons seem to be vulnerable to some of the same effects, but it reminded me of Stephanie and Nathan's podcast from Stimulus Control and Memory a while back!  5-Slot, Callie's Quintet, Cobalt123 (c) 2009 Comments are closed.

About Us
Quantitative analyses of behavior involve describing, forecasting and explaining behavior using mathematical equations. This approach can generate very accurate, precise descriptions of behavior. It makes objective comparison of different explanations possible. Sometimes, models generate surprising predictions and explain things you would not expect from verbal descriptions alone!
