Adaptation to the Drive Stimulus in Instrumental Escape Conditioning
In order to ascertain whether training conditions are complicated by adaptation effects in a water-escape situation rats ( N = 96) were exposed for 10 or 100 sec. to 15° or 32° C prior to each escape trial from a 15° C tank. Compared to a non-exposed control condition over-all performance of the 15° C exposed groups was unaffected, but the performance of the 32° C exposed groups was significantly ( p < .0005) enhanced. Adaptation effects which wo…

Water Tank Apparatus for Instrumental Escape Conditioning
An alley and goal tank are connected to separate reservoirs containing constant temperature circulating units. These units allow automatic and precise control of water temperature which is used to manipulate drive and reinforcement with small laboratory animals

Instrumental Escape Conditioning in a Water Tank
Rats must learn to swim down a tank of water, and motivation (drive stimulus intensity) is manipulated by means of the water temperature. Reinforcement (reduction in drive stimulus intensity) is manipulated independently by means of the differential temperature between the alley tank and a separate goal tank. The purpose of this note is to generally describe the technique and indicate its usefulness for the study of instrumental escape conditioni…

Some Effects of "Free" and "Restricted" Environmental Rearing Conditions Upon Adult Behavior in the Rat
Some Effects of “Free” and “Restricted” Environmental Rearing Conditions upon Adult Behavior in the Rat
Studies have indicated that, if rats are raised under environmental conditions which allow variations in their relative amounts of sensory and motor experience, they exhibit marked differences in maze-solving ability as adults. More specifically, if one group is raised in a large free environment cage with various kinds of playthings such as mazes, tunnels, and see-saws, and another group is raised in small cages under relatively conditions, the …
Response to Environmental Change
The response-to-change effect (1, 3 ) is a phenomenon relevant to our current studies of the antecedents of the differential problem-solving ability of Ss reared in free versus restricted environments (7) . If this is a real effect then we have added support for the importance of exploratory behavior in a maze which represents a marked increase in S's environmental complexity (2 ) . Fowler (4 ) has recently replicated Dember's (1) original findin…

Effects of a Random versus Pattern Instructional Set in a Contingent Partial Reinforcement Situation
The characteristic response curves of Ss operating under partial reinforcement are well-known. In a two-choice situation, for instance, they start off responding equally to both choices and then increase the proportion of their responses to the most profitable choice. Ordinarily, the final level of response is less than 100% preference for the alternative associated with the most frequent reward. Possibly, Ss try to match the occurrence of the re…
