Sucrose Reinforcement

Four groups of rats were given single-alternation training in a runway using sucrose reward and then extinguished. Only subjects given training with a short interval (10 sec.) between rewarded and nonrewarded trials and a long interval (40 min.) between nonrewarded and rewarded trials learned patterned responding. This duplicated the results found in classical conditioning with a similar manipulation. The acquisition and extinction data led to the conclusion that intertrial interval cues can be made more important than aftereffects in producing patterning with sucrose reinforcement.

Skinner Box

2 groups of 60 rats received either 75 or 285 runs in a runway before being given a choice between freeloading from a dish of pellets in the start box or running the maze for a single pellet. The 285-trial Ss showed less willingness to perform the operant than the 75-trial Ss. This is opposite to what Jensen (1963) had found in the Skinner box. Schedule of reinforcement (100 vs 50%) during training did not significantly affect freeloading scores.

Delay Component

Following 30 sessions of training on a 60-sec. random-interval schedule of reinforcement, 2 pigeons were exposed to a multiple schedule containing non-contingent and variable delay components that provided equal frequencies of reinforcement. The introduction of the multiple schedule resulted in decreased response rare in both components, with a higher rate maintained under the variable delay. Post-reinforcement pauses were systematically increased during the non-contingent schedule, but no systematic increases in pause duration were noted for the variable delay component.
