Resistance to Extinction under Variable Conditions as a Function of the Intertrial Interval
72 rats were given 8 acquisition trials under constant acquisition conditions and then extinguished under constant (C), variable (V) and interpolated rest (R) conditions. The V and R conditions did not differ significantly from one another but both differed significantly from the C condition. It was concluded that the rate of extinction is inhibited when extinction trials are widely distributed, regardless of whether the intertrial interval is fi…
Relation of Differential Reinforcement Histories to Selective Learning and Differential Consummatory Activity
The purpose was to study the relation of past history of reinforcement to selective learning and rate of reinforcement. Prior research suggested that there is a preference for a slow rare of reinforcement when amount is held constant; however, rate of reinforcement has been confounded with consummatory activity. In this study, amount of consummatory activity and amount of reward were held constant while varying the rate of reinforcement. The resu…
Secondary Reinforcement and the Discrimination Hypothesis
The purposes of this experiment are further investigation of: the discrimination hypothesis vs secondary reinforcement positions with respect to resistance to extinction; the role of explicit vs non-explicit discrimination training in resistance to extinction. One group of 32 rats was given explicit discrimination training in an L-type runway involving two goal boxes of different brightness. A second group of 32 Ss had non-explicit discrimination…
