James E. Mazur

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Statistics
• Reinforcement
• Neuroscience

His primary areas of study are Reinforcement, Social psychology, Statistics, Indifference point and Cognitive psychology. His study in Reinforcement is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Developmental psychology and Frequency distribution. His research in Developmental psychology intersects with topics in Matching law and Key pecking.

While the research belongs to areas of Social psychology, James E. Mazur spends his time largely on the problem of Probabilistic logic, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Stimulus, Probability learning and Control theory. His work in Statistics tackles topics such as Rate of reinforcement which are related to areas like Preference, Reinforcement learning and Range. As part of his studies on Indifference point, James E. Mazur often connects relevant subjects like Structural engineering.

His most cited work include:

• An adjusting procedure for studying delayed reinforcement. (1372 citations)
• Learning and Behavior (504 citations)
• Tests of an equivalence rule for fixed and variable reinforcer delays. (348 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Reinforcement, Statistics, Social psychology, Preference and Developmental psychology. His work deals with themes such as Cognitive psychology, Probabilistic logic, Indifference point and Constant, which intersect with Reinforcement. His work carried out in the field of Cognitive psychology brings together such families of science as Classical conditioning, Matching law and Operant conditioning.

His studies in Statistics integrate themes in fields like Discrete trials and Rate of reinforcement. His Social psychology study frequently links to other fields, such as Transition. His Preference research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Discrimination learning, Probability learning and Conditioning.

He most often published in these fields:

• Reinforcement (71.59%)
• Statistics (48.86%)
• Social psychology (45.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2019)?

• Cognitive psychology (17.05%)
• Operant conditioning (7.95%)
• Social psychology (45.45%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

James E. Mazur mainly investigates Cognitive psychology, Operant conditioning, Social psychology, Variable interval and Security token. Cognitive psychology is closely attributed to Motor skill in his study. Much of his study explores Operant conditioning relationship to Cognitive science.

When carried out as part of a general Social psychology research project, his work on Punishment is frequently linked to work in Delay discounting, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. In Variable interval, James E. Mazur works on issues like Communication, which are connected to Statistics. Preference and Reinforcement are frequently intertwined in his study.

Between 2012 and 2019, his most popular works were:

• Human choices between variable and fixed rewards in hypothetical variable-delay and double-reward discounting procedures. (7 citations)
• Pigeons' choices with token stimuli in concurrent variable-interval schedules. (6 citations)
• The Effect of Delay and of Intervening Events on Reinforcement Value : Quantitative Analyses of Behavior, Volume V (5 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

• Statistics
• Reinforcement
• Neuroscience

His main research concerns Reinforcement, Statistics, Volume, Value and Hyperbolic discounting. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cognitive psychology and Preference. His Hyperbolic discounting research includes elements of Token economy, Matching law, Stimulus, Communication and Security token.

James E. Mazur regularly links together related areas like Variable interval in his Token economy studies.
