Schedules of Reinforcement and Individual Differences in Learning and Recall

To test hypotheses derived from the Alternative Response Model of “defense mechanisms,” three different types of responders to adequacy material were studied in a paired-associate learning and recall paradigm under three different patterns of reinforcement. Differences in response patterns to specific reinforcement conditions between Direct-relevant Responders (conflict-free) and the ether two groups of Ss (Indirect-relevant and Non-relevant Responders) were found. The results were only partially consistent with the predictions and previous results. However, the results for the learning task and the recall task were different from each other. Several problems deriving from the particular experimental paradigm used were evident. Further programmatic research was suggested
