选择的三种数学模型——情境选择模型（R. Grace，1994）、延迟减少理论（N. Squires & E. Fantino，1971）和一种称为双曲增值模型的新模型——对它们预测各种动物实验结果的能力进行了比较。当提供 2 或 3 个自由参数时，所有 3 个模型都对使用并发链程序的大量实验做出了相当准确的预测。双曲增值模型的优点之一是它源自一个更简单的模型，该模型使用离散试验调整延迟程序对许多实验进行准确的预测。一些结果支持双曲增值模型和延迟减少理论，而不是上下文选择模型，但需要从模型做出明显不同预测的选择情况中获得更多数据。
Three mathematical models of choice—the contextual-choice model (R. Grace, 1994), delay-reduction theory (N. Squires & E. Fantino, 1971), and a new model called the hyperbolic value-added model—were compared in their ability to predict the results from a wide variety of experiments with animal subjects. When supplied with 2 or 3 free parameters, all 3 models made fairly accurate predictions for a large set of experiments that used concurrent-chain procedures. One advantage of the hyperbolic value-added model is that it is derived from a simpler model that makes accurate predictions for many experiments using discrete-trial adjusting-delay procedures. Some results favor the hyperbolic value-added model and delay-reduction theory over the contextual-choice model, but more data are needed from choice situations for which the models make distinctly different predictions.
