How does regulation of drug intake come about? Comment on Lynch and Carroll (2001).
W. J. Lynch and M. E. Carroll (2001) suggested 3 processes that contribute to the regulation of drug intake over time when drugs serve as reinforcers. The commentator suggests that none of these processes are necessary for drugs to function as reinforcers and hence are either secondary or superfluous to the study of drugs as reinforcers.
