Some Observations on Extinction of a Complex Discriminated Operant
Extinction of well established matching-to-sample behavior in 2 pigeons was found to produce large decrements in the strength of the key peck response but had little or no effect upon the accuracy of matching
Search for an Effect of Satiation on Delayed Matching-To-Sample Performance
A study was made of the effects of satiation on the quality of a well-established delayed matching-to-sample performance. Drive levels were manipulated by (1) allowing Ss (3 white Carneaux pigeons) to run to satiation in prolonged sessions and (2) prefeeding Ss 10% of their working weights 2 hr. before the experimental sessions. Performance at low drive levels shows no decrements compared with that under control (high drive) conditions and may ev…
Acquisition and Transfer of Zero-Delay Matching
Six birds were trained to match-to-sample with red, green, and blue stimuli on a zero-delay procedure in which the sample stimulus is presented and then removed at the same time the choice stimuli are presented. The acquisition functions for zero-celay matching show it to be a more difficult task for pigeons than simultaneous matching where the choice response can be made with the sample present. After 42 sessions with red, green, and blue stimul…
Acquisition and Transfer of Simultaneous Oddity
The matching-to-sample experimental procedure was altered by reinforcing the selection of the non-matching comparison hue rather than the matching stimulus. Six birds were trained with red, green, and blue alternatives and a simultaneous presentation of stimuli in which the sample was present at the same time as the choice stimuli. The acquisition functions began well above the chance level but displayed a very slow improvement thereafter, which …
