Four experiments are reported which involved relative qualitative (Exps. 1 and 2), relative quantitative (Exp. 3), and absolute quantitative (Exp. 4) sucrose-solution incentive reductions in the first goal box of a double runway. In the three relative experiments, different GB 1 amounts (.50 cc vs .10 cc) or concentrations (32% vs 8%) of sucrose did not affect pre- or postshift locomotion speeds in either runway. In the absolute study, RW 1 speeds varied directly, and RW 2 speeds varied inversely, with GB 1 reward magnitude (.50 vs NR). Postshift RW 2 speed changes favored a demotivation rather than a frustration interpretation of incentive change
