The Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior publishes research on the principles of behavior, with a focus on experimental analysis. Recent articles investigate topics such as matching-to-sample procedures with dogs, temporal control in pigeons, value-based decision-making in humans related to cannabis use, and the behavioral theory of timing. Other research explores Pavlovian conditioning in children, behavioral economics applied to substance use and ethical choices, and the effects of diet and cues on eating behavior in rats. The journal also features studies on token economies, reinforcement schedules, and the impact of effort and consequences on decision-making.
