Silverstein's Nonparametric Many-One Test for a Two-Way Design: A Monte Carlo Study
A Monte Carlo study was done to find the Type I error rates for three nonparametric procedures for making k – 1 many-one comparisons in a two-way design. The tests were the Silverstein and Steel many-one tests and the two-sample step-down sign test. k = 3, 5, 7, and 10 treatments were crossed with n = 8, 11, and 15 blocks with 1000 simulations per k, n combination. The Silverstein test had the best experimentwise error rates and is recommended fo…
Silverstein's Nonparametric Many-One Test for a One-Way Design: A Monte Carlo Study
A Monte Carlo study was done to find the Type I error rates for three nonparametric procedures for making k − 1 many-one comparisons in a one-way design. The tests ( t) were the Silverstein and Steel many-one ranks tests and the two-sample Wilcoxon rank-sum test, k = 3, 5, 7, and 10 treatments were crossed with n = 7, 10, and 15 replicates with 1000 simulations per k, n combination. Analyses of four Type I error rates showed that: (1) The Wilcoxo…

Two Monte Carlo Studies of Silverstein's Nonparametric Multiple Comparison Tests
Two Monte Carlo studies were done to find the Type 1 error rates for Silverstein's nonparametric pairwise multiple-comparison tests for a one- and two-way layout with ranked data. Silverstein's tests had excellent experimentwise error rates but did not do as well as Wilcoxon's tests and the stepped-down sign test when pairwise comparisons were performed after significant over-all tests. Silverstein's tests were shown to be equivalent to recently …

Water Beds and Sexual Satisfaction: Wike's Law of Low Odd Primes (WLLOP)
A powerful methodological principle, Wike's Law of Low Odd Primes (WLLOP), is described and its limitations are noted. A 5-step procedure for applying WLLOP to research is presented and then exemplified by an analysis of the Nasters-Yonson investigation of water beds and sexual satisfaction. Two criticisms of WLLOP are responded to. Finally, admonitions regarding the application of WLLOP are offered
Secondary Reinforcement and Play Behavior
Delay Patterns, Delay-Box Confinement, and Instrumental Performance
72 rats were trained in a runway for 9 days. Group D1 was delayed for 20 sec. on the first 3 days, D2 on the second 3 days, and D3 on the last 3. All other trials were rewarded immediately. During 5 days of extinction half of Ss had 20-sec. delay-box confinement on all trials; the other Ss had no confinement. Delays in training produced sudden, pronounced changes in behavior. on the average, Ss ran faster in both training and extinction, the earl…
Duration of Delay, Delay-Box Confinement, and Runway Performance
Rats ( N=69) were trained in a runway under 0-, 10-, and 20-sec. delays and extinguished with 0-, 10-, 20-sec. delay-box confinements using one trial/day in each stage of the experiment. Duration of delay in training was inversely related to running speed in acquisition and in extinction. Duration of confinement in extinction was inversely related to running speed in extinction. Increases in delay from training to extinction led to faster extinct…
Delayed Reward, Delay-Box Confinement, and Instrumental Performance: A within-Type Design
Three experiments were done on delayed reinforcement and extinction using a within-group design in training. Entering one alley of a Grice discrimination apparatus led to immediate reward, while entering the other led to 40-sec. delays either on 50% of the trials (Exps. I and II) or on 100% of the trials (Exp. III). Half of Ss were extinguished in the non-delay alley, half in the delay alley. Half of Ss in each extinction group were extinguished …
Establishment of a Learned Drive with Hunger
Three experiments ( N = 60) were performed to assess the reliability and generality of Wright's finding of a learned drive based on hunger. While some support was found in Exp. I, this result could not be replicated successfully in two other studies. In all three studies Ss' performance on the first consummatory test was contrary to the learned drive hypothesis
Effects of Random vs Alternating Delay of Reinforcement in Training upon Extinction Performance
Tyler, Worrz, and Bitterman ( 1 9 5 3 ) and Capaldi ( 1 9 5 8 ) found that a random pattern ( R ) of partial reinforcement in training results in greater resisrance to extinction than an alternating pattern ( A ) . Wike, Kinuch, and Gutekunst ( 1 9 5 9 ) did not find this relationship with A and R patterns of partial delay of reinforcement. The present studies investigated this problem further with longer training and longer delays of reward
Effects of Alternating Partial Reinforcement and Alternating Delay of Reinforcement on a Runway Response
A replication and extension of the Cogan and Capaldi study was performed, using 60 rats. As in the original study, Ss with alternating reinforcement and nonreinforcement displayed patterned running during runway acquisition; Ss with alternating immediate and delayed reward did not. Additional groups with longer confinement periods exhibited patterned running under both alternating partial and alternating delay of reinforcement. The extinction res…

Runway Performance as a Function of Variable Deprivation Periods
The starting and running speeds of an E-group ( N = 14) , which randomly received 18, 23, and 28 hr. of food privation, with a 23-hr. average, were contrasted with those of a C-group ( N = 14) with a constant 23-hr. deprivation. After 12 days of pretraining, Ss had 45 trials in a 6-ft. alley runway. In the first five days one trial per day was given; thereafter, Ss had two daily trials, spaced by a 5 to 10 min. interval. Analysis of the starting …

Selective Learning and Habit Reversal as a Function of Partial Reinforcement during Training and Reversal
Four studies (Wike, 1953; Grosslight, Hall, & Scott, 1954; Kendler & Lachman, 1958; Gullahorn & Wike, 1959) have shown that partial reinforcement during training retards reversal learning.' Elam and Tyler ( 1958) reported that monkeys trained to execute a non-spatial, object discrimination where the correct object was rewarded 60% of the time and the incorrect object was reinforced on 40% of the occasions reversed the discrimination more slowly t…

A Quest for the Generalized Conditioned Reinforcer
In recent years the problem domain relating to the development and behavioral consequences of learned rewards and drives has become of critical importance to contemporary learning theories (2 , 5) . The purpose of the present studies is to determine the effects of a type of learned reward which Skinner ( 7 ) has termed a conditioned reinforcer. Such a token reward is established when a pattern of cues is correlated repeatedly with more than one t…

Selective Learning as a Function of Differential Consummatory Activity
Habit Reversal as a Function of Length of Partial Delay of Reinforcement
While the effects of delay of reinforcement on response acquisition are well known ( 6 ) , there is comparatively little information regarding its effects upon resistance to extinction. Recently, Fehrer ( 3 ) has demonstrated that a constant delay of reinforcement produces an instrumental response that is more resistant to extinction than when reward is immediately forthcoming. In the case of partially delayed reinforcement, in which delay of rew…
