Researchers used a conjugate preparation to evaluate how response force changed based on participants' preferences for visual stimuli. First, researchers used a verbal preference assessment to evaluate each participant's preference for viewing for five object categories of visual stimuli; this process identified high preference (HP) stimuli and low preference stimuli for most participants. Thereafter, researchers exposed each participant to the five stimulus categories in a randomized order while using a force dynamometer to measure their response force to increase visual clarity of each stimulus. Results indicate the majority of participants' HP stimuli corresponded to the stimulus category for which they exerted the highest mean force. These preliminary findings suggest conjugate preparations involving response force may provide another option for measuring the relative value of some stimulus events.

比较共轭制剂中的刺激偏好和反应力

研究人员使用共轭制剂来评估响应力如何根据参与者对视觉刺激的偏好而变化。首先，研究人员使用口头偏好评估来评估每个参与者对五种视觉刺激对象类别的观看偏好；这个过程确定了大多数参与者的高偏好（HP）刺激和低偏好刺激。此后，研究人员以随机顺序将每个参与者暴露于五个刺激类别，同时使用测力计测量他们的反应力，以增加每个刺激的视觉清晰度。结果表明，大多数参与者的 HP 刺激对应于他们施加最高平均力的刺激类别。
