Bombesin Improves Rats' Operant Responding Maintained by a Differential-Reinforcement-of-Low-Rates Schedule of Food Reinforcement
The present study examined rats' responding on a differential-reinforcement-of-low-rates schedule of food reinforcement following intraperitoneal injections of various doses of bombesin (4, 6, 8, 16, 32 micrograms/kg). Analyses indicated that only the 6 micrograms/kg dosage improved DRL responding. The findings are consistent with prior research examining bombesin's effect on operant behavior and support the notion that bombesin induces satiety r…
Food as a Discriminative Stimulus
Three pigeons were trained on a “go-no go” discrimination task in which positive trials were preceded by 1.5-sec. access to food and negative trials were preceded by 0-sec. access to food. By the end of training pretrial access to food was exerting strong discriminative control over responding: each subject responded more than eight times more frequently during positive than negative trials. During a subsequent generalization test in which trials…
