Resistance To Extinction

2 experiments investigating the effects of intertrial reward on resistance to extinction following partial reward schedules containing N-lengths (number of consecutive nonrewards preceding a rewarded trial) of 1, 2, or 3. It was found that intertrial rewards completely eliminated the partial reinforcement effect for all N-lengths when run times were considered but had no effect on goal times. These data were discussed in terms of their relevance to the modified aftereffects hypothesis and previous investigations of intertrial reward.

History Of

An instrumental response was trained in humans under 50% partial reward or 100% continuous reward. Partial reinforcement groups subsequently displayed superior resistance to continuous punishment which was coupled with either 100%, 50% or 0% reward. Although resistance to punishment generally increased when it was coupled with more frequent reward, the partial reinforcement groups receiving punishment coupled with either 100% or 50% reward did not differ. Resistance to extinction after punishment treatments was higher for groups trained under partial reward. The results were consistent with the notion of transfer effects between punishment and frustrative nonreward stimuli. In addition, both the punishment and the subsequent extinction of an unwanted response in humans appeared to be importantly determined by the initial acquisition history of the response.
