    Summary

    Understanding drug reinforced behavior requires examining various factors like the drug, species, and experimental conditions. Continued research is crucial for advancing knowledge in this complex area of operant behavior.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral neuroscience
    • Pharmacology
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Drug-reinforced behavior is a key area of study in understanding addiction and substance abuse.
    • Operant behavior principles are fundamental to understanding how drugs influence behavior.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of factors influencing drug-reinforced behavior.
    • To define drug-reinforced behavior and discuss methods for its identification.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on factors controlling drug-reinforced behavior.
    • Discussion of experimental control procedures for identifying drug-reinforced behavior.
    • Categorization of influencing factors into drug-specific, subject-specific, and environmental variables.

    Main Results:

    • Identified key factors influencing drug-reinforced behavior: drug properties, animal species, administration route, experimental history, and consequences.
    • Detailed specific circumstance variables (stimulus control, food deprivation, drug access, lesions) and response consequence variables (reinforcement schedule, punishment, dose, competing reinforcers).

    Conclusions:

    • Drug-reinforced behavior is a complex phenomenon influenced by a multitude of interacting factors.
    • Significant progress in understanding drug reinforcement over the past 25 years is expected to continue.
