  • Effects of CS Presence and Duration on Suppression of Positively Reinforced Responding in the Rat

    Open AccessEliot Shimoff, E H Shimoff et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1969

    The variable of CS duration preceding unavoidable electric shock was investigated with rats as Ss. For the 6 durations examined from 3.75 to 60 sec, suppression of positively reinforced bar-pressing in the presence of CS was complete. While response suppression between CS presentations was initially severe, it gradually dissipated as the experiment progressed. A separate group of rats received unavoidable shocks not preceded by a stimulus. Genera…

  • Differentiation of Response Duration

    Open AccessAlan H Harris, J BRETLAND FARMER et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1966

    Milk reinforcement for 2 rats was made contingent on the duration of a panel press response with reinforcement delivered on panel release. Various response distributions and cumulative records were taken at a panel “hold” duration requirement of 8 sec. Similarities and differences between the present data and those obtained with conventional DRL schedules were noted and are discussed in terms of response chaining

  • Conditioning Response Variability

    Open AccessW N Schoenfeld, Alan H Harris et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1966

    Variability of performance was conditioned in three rats by making reinforcement contingent upon two successive inter-response times or post-reinforcement pauses falling into different temporal class intervals. Class intervals were systematically varied over a range of 1.0 to 20.0 sec. Inter-response time and post-reinforcement pause-time distributions, in terms of absolute frequency, were obtained at each interval value. All rats met the variabi…

  • Cardiac Rate of the Rat under a DRL and a Non-Contingent Temporal Schedule of Reinforcement

    Open AccessArthur G Snapper, W N Schoenfeld et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1965

    Two experiments were conducted in an attempt to produce conditioning of the rat's heart-rate response to periodic presentations of a positive reinforcer. In the first study, milk was presented once every 60 sec. to 2 Ss and once every 240 sec. to 2 other Ss. The unconditioned cardiac response to the milk was an increase in cardiac rate, and, while it was shown that the increase became conditioned to auditory stimulation which accompanied the milk…

  • Effects of Separate and Joint Escape and Avoidance Contingencies

    Open AccessRichard W Malott, N A Sidley et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1963

    The contributions of separate and joint “escape” and “avoidance” contingencies were investigated for the bar-pressing response of rats in a schedule of negative reinforcement defined within the t-classification. In general, the removal of either contingency alone, or even of both contingencies at once, had very little effect on the two measures of response rate and of shocks per minute
