Response Independence, Matching, and Maximizing: A Reply to Heyman.
Staddon, J. E. R.; Motheral, Susan
Psychological Review, v86 n5 p501-05 Sep 1979
Heyman's major criticism (TM 504 810) of Staddon and Motheral's reinforcement maximization model is that it does not consider "local" and "interchangeover" interresponse times separately. We show that this separation may not be necessary. Heyman's apparent gain in comprehensiveness may not be worth the added complexity. (Author/RD)
