I mentioned in my previous post that the header of ECOLI2.PAS contains my
office phone number. Now I find that this is in error due to a "typo." The
correct number is (219) 481-6399. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have
caused.

Wonderful post. As you note, Bruce's model is a control model, controlling
the input variable, dNut.
So, is this the way reinforcement works. Bruce? And, if so, why aren't EAB
researchers talking more about reinforcement as controlled perceptual input?
Rick, our posts must have crossed paths, so see my previous one (941031.1500
EST) for my "reply." (Hey, I seem to be developing ESP! I am now answering
your questions BEFORE you ask them!)
By the way, have you run ECOLI? ECOLI2? (My ESP seems to be failing me here.)
Are we reaching some kind of consensus here about the nature of traditional
reinforcement theory? Do you see why TRTists have not been especially
nonplussed by your e. coli simulation?
Regards,
Bruce
