Low Magnitude

The purpose of this study was to reexamine Hull's Theorem 30 and Pereboom's modification of that theorem. Following 42 runway acquisition trials with consecutively (upward or downward) shifted reward magnitudes, all groups of rats were extinguished and then retrained with a medium reward magnitude. The results of the original acquisition trials seem to satisfy Hull's prediction, but during reacquisition all experimental groups attained asymptotic performance levels higher than that obtained for the control group trained with a low magnitude of reward during original acquisition. This evidence clearly suggests that neither Hull's not Pereboom's theorem is consistent with the empirical evidence.

In Series

The present experiment was conducted to test the energizing effects of frustration by blocking a learned instrumental response. 20 albino rats deprived of food, ran 4 trials a day for 24 days in an apparatus having 2 runways in series separated by a blocking door. During 2 of the 4 daily trials, the animals were momentarily blocked from running into the second runway. An analysis of their second runway performance indicated that their running time on the frustrative blocked trials was significantly less than on the non-blocked trials. The results are considered as substantiating the frustrative interruption hypothesis deduced from Brown and Farber's theory of frustration.
