class.elemental: The 'elemental' parent class

In Don-Li/CAB_original:

Description

In the CAB package, objects that contain particular functions for a model, such as the delay-of-reinforcement gradient in Catania's Operant Reserve (Catania, 2005; see also DOR) are referred to as elemental objects. The class elemental is the parent class from which all of the child elemental classes inherit from.

Details

elemental objects contain functions but without any associated parameters. To hold parameters, a control object is used, which contains both a function from an elemental object and its associated parameters. A specific model (see class.model) is a collection of control objects and some other objects to control the iteration of the model through its associated conditions.

Slots

name

A character string that gives the name of the elemental object.

type

A character string containing "elemental".
