The contributions of B. F. Skinner to the interdisciplinary science of behavioural pharmacology
This paper reviews the impact on behavioural pharmacology of experimental methods and modes of interpretation derived from the work of B. F. Skinner. The techniques of operant conditioning have been widely used to enrich the database of behavioural pharmacology. Their use has repeatedly demonstrated that the effects of a drug on behaviour are schedule‐dependent, i.e. they depend on the characteristics of the behaviour against which the drug is as…

A Variable-Interval Punishment Procedure for Assessing Anxiolytic Effects of Drugs
Laboratory techniques for assessing the behavioral effects of anxiolytic drugs often involve the use of a punishing procedure and rats or other species as subjects. Some aspects of conventional experimental designs, however, make difficult interpretation of the drugs' effects. The present experiment made use of a modified punishment with rats, which was designed to reduce interpretative difficulties. Both food and shock presentations were schedul…
The Role of Interviews in Choice of University by Psychology Undergraduates
S ummary . Undergraduate applicants for a university degree course in psychology received conditional offers of places having undergone one of four different introductions to the department ranging from a group open day to a stressful individual interview with two admissions tutors. The prediction that as interviews became more stressful so the acceptance rate of conditional offers would increase was not confirmed. Instead, evidence suggested tha…
