A neural network model of foraging decisions made under predation risk by COLEMAN, Scott L, BROWN, Vincent R, LEVINE, Daniel S, MELLGREN, Roger L

“…This article develops the cognitive-emotional forager (CEF) model, a novel application of a neural network to dynamical processes in foraging behavior. The CEF…”

Optimal foraging theory: Prey density and travel requirements in Rattus norvegicus by MELLGREN, R. L, MISASI, L, BROWN, S. W

“…Two male Wistar hooded rats were allowed to forage for food by climbing nail ladders to a box containing prey mixed with sand (a patch) to investigate how…”

Positive contrast in the rat as a function of number of preshift trials in the runway by Mellgren, Roger L

“…Shifted 42 male sprague-dawley albino rats from small (1 pellet) to large (6 pellets) reward after 0, 24, 48, or 72 trials. A 20-sec delay of reward was used…”

Distinction Between Places and Paths in Rats' Spatial Representations by Brown, Steven W, Mellgren, Roger L

“…Rats were trained on a 3-dimensional, 4-arm radial maze. In Experiment 1, Ss trained to climb to the single goal platform chose fewer novel routes to the goal…”

Successive nonreinforcements (N-length) and resistance to extinction at spaced trials by Jobe, Jared B, Mellgren, Roger L

Extinction performance as a function of reward-nonreward transitions by Eckert, Ed, Mellgren, Roger L

“…Trained 50 male Sprague-Dawley albino rats under 5 different sequences of partial reward, holding nonreward-reward (N-R) transitions constant. Groups which…”

Partial reinforcement effect, reverse partial reinforcement effect, and generalized partial reinforcement effect within subjects by Mellgren, Roger L, Dyck, Dennis G

Resistance to extinction at spaced trials using the within-subject procedure by Mellgren, Roger L, Seybert, Jeffrey A

“…Hypothesized in Exp I that nonreinforcement to reinforcement (N-R) transition would determine resistance to extinction at a 24-hr intertrial interval (ITI). Ss…”
