Bishop, Asia S.; Fleming, Christopher M.; Nurius, Paula S. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Substance use is a frequently cited health risk behavior in the youth gang literature, yet little is known about how substance use patterns vary among gang-involved youth or the social ecological factors that contribute to potential variation. Developing relevant and effective service approaches will require an understanding of this variation and…

Cassidy, Rachel N.; Dallery, Jesse – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2012
The exponential demand equation proposed by Hursh and Silberberg (2008) provides an estimate of the essential value of a good as a function of price. The model predicts that essential value should remain constant across changes in the magnitude of a reinforcer, but may change as a function of motivational operations. In Experiment 1, rats' demand…

Hinton, Elizabeth A.; Wheeler, Marina G.; Gourley, Shannon L. – Learning & Memory, 2014
An important aspect of goal-directed action selection is differentiating between actions that are more or less likely to be reinforced. With repeated performance or psychostimulant exposure, however, actions can assume stimulus-elicited--or "habitual"--qualities that are resistant to change. We show that selective knockdown of prelimbic…
