The matching law, regardless of the version, is a mathematical model that accounts for an organism's response rate as a function of the reinforcer rate. McDowell (2013) investigated to which extent a combined version of the quantitative law of effect (Herrnstein, 1970) and the generalized matching law (Baum, 1974) accounts for a substantial amount of the variance through several data sets. Even if I agree with most points raised by McDowell, there are 2 important issues within his reanalysis. Two out of 6 studies relied on pooled-subject data that are inappropriate for an investigation of the matching law (Caron, 2013). Moreover, the combined equation was not systemically investigated through all data sets. The current study casts some doubt on the empirical status of modern matching equations and thus shows that they still deserve extensive attention.
