Suppression of Headbanging on the Ward
Effects of leg shock and a conditioned aversive stimulus (a loud, verbal “No”) on the self-injurious responses of a profoundly retarded patient were assessed. The “No” and shock produced a significant decrement in self-injurious responding. The procedure was then modified for use in the regular ward environment. The staff delivered the loud, verbal “No” contingent on each self-injurious response they observed, and occasional leg shocks. The proce…
Hippocampal Lesions and the Partial Reinforcement Effect
Two hypotheses of hippocampal function predict that nonreinforcement effects should be attenuated in hippocampal-lesioned rats. As a test of these hypotheses, hippocampal-lesioned and normal rats were trained in the straight runway on continuous or partial reinforcement schedules and then extinguished. In acquisition, lesioned rats ran slower over-all than normals and slower on trials following reward than normals, but there was no difference on …
