The effects of reinforcement of the development of inhibitory stimulus control.
The effects of reinforcement of the development of inhibitory stimulus control.
Abstract
The pecking response of pigeons was reinforced when directed at a key transilluminated by chromatic light. Subjects were assigned to one of three sequences of S+ and S- stimuli and to one of two multiple schedules of reinforcement. The AE Group (acquisition - extinction) received daily a block of nine S+ periods followed immediately by a block of nine S- periods. The EA Group received the reverse order of stimuli while a control group (R Group) received a random sequence of stimuli. Each of the ' above sequences of stimulus presentation was in effect in conjunction with either a Mult VI-1 min - Ext schedule or a Mult VI-1 min - VI-4 min schedule of reinforcement. A total of six groups were thus obtained
