A Simple Method of Programming Interlocking Schedules of Reinforcement
Schedule Control of Alcohol versus Water Selection by Rats
When drinking of water or a 9% alcohol solution was rewarded by reducing the intervals between reinforcive food pellets, the rats drank more water and alcohol
Use of the Reinforcement Survey Schedule with Alcoholics
The pleasure that 40 alcoholics derived from a number of objects, activities and situations was similar to that shown by a nonalcoholic population, as measured by the Reinforcement Survey Schedule. A quarter of the alcoholics derived no pleasure from alcoholic beverages, while 4 derived much pleasure. The treatment implications are discussed
Reinforcement of Alcoholism
Neuroticism and Extraversion
48 chronic alcoholic patients in an in-patient facility completed both forms of the Eysenck Personality Inventory. All were sober at the time of testing but they were instructed to complete the inventory, first, as they felt while sober, and second, as they felt while drinking. Neuroticism scores did not change across the two instructions, but Extraversion scores averaged significantly higher under the drinking instruction

Avoidance Behavior in a Bar-Pressing Situation as a Function of Release Shock Intervals
4 white rats were given training in avoiding shocks by pressing a bar. Shocks were scheduled to occur after different release-signal (S 1 ) and S 1 -shock intervals. When these intervals totalled 125 sec. no bar-holding occurred; when they totalled 20 sec. bar-holding was almost continuous; when they totalled 60 sec. intermediate amounts of bar-holding were emitted by 3 animals. Once acquired, bar-holding was maintained according to the interval …
Avoidance Response Latencies as a Function of Intertrial and Signal-Shock Intervals
3 white tats were trained to rotate an activity wheel to avoid signaled shocks. Response latencies varied inversely with intertrial intervals and directly with signal-shock intervals. 2 animals responded early in the signal-shock interval and always avoided nearly all shocks. The third animal typically responded late in the interval and was less successful in avoiding shocks
Running and Bar Pressing as Avoidance Responses
Running and bar-pressing avoidance behavior by white rats were compared in order to elucidate problems associated with the latter. The running response was acquired rapidly bur the press response was not. This result was attributed to a difference in training procedures; shocks were postponed for the duration of a run but not for the duration of a press. When shocks were postponed for press durations the press response was rapidly acquired. The i…
Avoidance Responses as Discriminated Operants
In response to a comment by Brown (1965) it is argued that stimuli associated with electric shock in avoidance‐learning experiments do not necessarily acquire an attribute of aversiveness but function as discriminative stimuli. The usual assumption that avoidance behaviour is not reinforced by shock omission but is acquired coincidentally through its collateral termination of a conditioned aversive state of affairs is rejected in the light of exp…

Cumulative Confusion
Local Response Rates as Affected by Reinforcement Quality
Four white rats were trained to bar press on reinforcement schedule Tandem FI 30 sec. FR11, a procedure intended to approximate a runway situation with intertrial intervals of at least 30 sec. Means and distributions of times taken by Ss to make 10 responses were approximately equal irrespective of reinforcement quality over the range 0 to 32% sucrose by weight in water. Similiar results were obtained with two other Ss reinforced on schedule FR12…
Consciousness and Behaviourism
It has been argued, especially recently by Burt, that behaviourism is untenable because the concept of consciousness cannot be denied. This argument is rejected because the functional behaviourism of B. F. Skinner not only does not reject consciousness but includes an account of how behaviour made to private, conscious, experience can be brought under public control. A simple example of how behaviour to private stimuli can be controlled through t…

The Effect of a Warning Signal on Unrestricted Avoidance Behaviour
In an avoidance situation where interval responses served to postpone the onset of the next ‘trial’ animals were trained with and without a warning signal. Those animals which received the warning signal were free to postpone the onset of this signal as well as shock. It was found, however, that these animals come to respond more and more in the presence of the signal instead of before it. That is, they behaved so as to postpone the shock but not…
Increase in Perceptual Sensitivity as a Function of Learning in the Test Situation
An experiment in which subjects showed either significantly heightened or significantly lowered recognition thresholds of words previously failed in an anagrams test has been interpreted as demonstrating ‘individual differences in reactions to threats of self‐esteem’. A more specific explanation in terms of learning during the experiment is offered. It is argued that if anagrams constructed from highly familiar words are failed (due to insufficie…
Conditioned Inhibition and Avoidance Learning
One of the most convincing kinds of evidence that can be produced in favor of a scientific theory is that which supports it in the face of those long cherished beliefs which we know as common-sense. Thus it was a major achievement for Hullian behavior theory when Calvin, et a!. ( 2 ) purported to show that the seemingly paradoxical prediction that can be no learned act which can be performed for any length of time; its very repetition-regardless …
