Effects of Signalling Reinforcement Which Maintains Variable Ratio Performance of Rats and Pigeons
The non-instrumental effects on baseline response rates of response-contingent stimuli (CSs) that signalled all reinforcement were investigated. Rats showed reliable suppression during auditory CSs. Pigeons exhibited reliable suppression with visual CSs but not with auditory CSs. This procedure affords' a method of investigating non-instrumental aspects of behaviour which is free from problems inherent in the appetitive conditioned-suppression te…
Reward Shift and General Activity in the Rat
Food‐deprived hooded rats were exposed to 50 irregular 60 sec. presentations of a CS (light) in an activity monitoring situation. For one group the onset of the CS was accompanied by the delivery of a 300 mg food pellet. A second group were not fed in the presence of the CS. During 50 subsequent test presentations of the CS, half of each group were shifted to the other reward level on a random 50 per cent of occasions. Training conditions were th…
Frustration and Elation Effects in Operant Analogues of the Double Runway
Two experiments were carried out to clarify the effects of frustration and elation (reward shift) procedures in an operant analogue of the double runway. In one experiment subjects were prevented from responding in the presence of stimuli associated with reward shift. Comparison of experimental and unshifted control groups provided no evidence for frustration or elation effects under these conditions. This was in agreement with the results of pre…
Frustration and Choice
Handling and Food Intake in Hooded Rats
Qualitative Reward Shift in the Double Runway
Ten rats received 90 trials, one per day, in an L‐shaped double runway. For 70 acquisition trials reward in both goal boxes was two 45 mg standard diet Noyes pellets. On 10 of the subsequent 20 test trials reward in the first goal box was changed to two 45 mg sucrose pellets (a preferred food). During the test period first alley run times fell below the training level. Second alley start times following sucrose were greater than those following n…
Elation
The concept of elation is defined as a non‐instrumental change in the vigour of responding brought about by an upward shift in conditions of reward. It is seen that this reward change could be contingent or non‐contingent on behaviour; it could be signalled or unsignalled; and the changed reward could be the same or different in quantity and/or quality from that which went before. Studies under the eight categories suggested by this analysis are …
