Experimental Criterion

Four pigeons were trained to match reinforcement probability of two discs illumined with different degrees of brightness. After Ss had reached the prescribed experimental criterion, the dimmer of the two discs was now made the brighter of the two. In this way, transposition of the probability matching response was investigated. All animals showed this transposition. It was concluded that the probability matching response in pigeons was a fairly stable response, and that it could be transposed to other levels of discrimination, especially when degrees of brightness were used as the discrimination problem.

Titration Schedule

Albino rats were conditioned on a titration schedule of reinforcement which enabled the animals to adjust the sucrose concentration of food pellets. Concentrations of 90%, 70%, 50%, 30% and 10% sucrose were decreased by 20% every 30 sec. unless the animal emitted 1 of 2 concurrent operants, which reversed the process. Preparations of globin, protamine, and regular insulins were administered via the intraperitoneal route in small doses, on separate sessions, when steady states on the titration schedule were observed. Regular insulin had the strongest effect in producing higher titration and pellet rates and greater sucrose consumption.
