“…A feature common to these models assuming maximizing is an emphasis on steady-state behavior. One of the most challenging problems is to relate such models to others that attempt to describe behavior in transition (e.g., see Norman, 1966;Suppes &Donio, 1967).…”

Expected Utility Theory successfully predicts the steady-state relative frequencies of the two alternatives in two-key, discrete-trial probability-learning experiments, in concurrent variable interval schedules, and in concurrent variable interval schedules modified to study magnitude and delay of reinforcement and conditioned reinforcement. It also successfully predicts the relative frequencies of interresponse times in one-key variable interval schedules. Different interresponse times between pecks on a single key and pecks on different keys are treated as different instances of concurrent operants that have basically the same functional relationships with reinforcement variables. The theory states that an 5" chooses whichever alternative momentarily has the greatest weighted probability of reinforcement.

“…Between 1955 and 1970, Suppes collaborated with W. K. Estes, R. C. Atkinson, and others in formalizing mathematical learning theory, especially in the guise of stimulus sampling theory, in terms of a collection of stochastic processes of the Markovian type (Estes & Suppes, 1959, 1974Suppes & Atkinson, 1960). In simple learning situations, these Markov models were successful in representing the data, and this approach was generally regarded as notable progress over the informal learning theories proposed by Clark Hull, Edward Tolman, and others, whose ambiguous predictions led to controversies.…”
