Gambling behavior has the potential for real-life maladaptive consequences. Understanding the environment which fosters gambling behavior is a first step towards developing a possible treatment option. The purpose of the present study was to create a gambling analog using pigeons in an attempt to mimic environmental factors that are involved in real-life gambling conditions.
