Delay Of Reward

Ss receiving partial delay of reward showed better differential learning with a brightness cue given on the delay trials than did Ss receiving partial reinforcement for which the cue was given on nonreward trials. Partial delay of reinforcement resulted in faster start latencies on the trials in which reinforcement was immediate than occurred for continuous immediate reinforcement. The decremental effects of constant delay of reinforcement on performance were eliminated when a sufficient number of trials were given.

Position Discrimination

The effects of deprivation level, goal-related cues, and delay of reinforcement on the extinction of a position discrimination response were observed. Deprivation level and cues did not differentially affect rate of extinction or the number of perseveration responses. Delay of reinforcement resulted in a lower level of performance at the end of acquisition and during extinction, and for immediate reinforcement Ss, the rate of decline during extinction was faster although they showed greater initial perseveration.
