The effects of a novel stimulus change on responding in extinction following fixed-ratio training

Abstract: The present study assessed the effects of a brief stimulus change not paired with food on the pattern of responding in extinction following fixed-ratio (FR) training. Four pigeons were trained to respond on a FR 100 schedule of food reinforcement. Two of these subjects were then exposed to four extinction sessions in which only this novel stimulus change followed completion of each FR 100. The other two pigeons were exposed to six extinction sessions with the unpaired stimulus change following completion of ea… Show more

“…Two important effects of increasing an FR schedule's response requirement are: (1) to lengthen the postreinforcement pause; and (2) produce increases in the running rates. Among the factors likely to account for these findings are: (1) the number of pecks since reinforcement as a discriminative stimulus (Alferink & Crossman, 1977;Crossman, Heaps, Nunes, & Alferink, 1974;Mechner, 1958;Mintz, Mourer, 8& Gofseyeff, 1967;. Plliskoff & Goldiamond, 1966;Rilling, 1967;l RiliTrg & McDiarmid, 1965); (2) number of pecks as a conditioned reinforcer (Ferster & Skinner, 1957, p. 40); (3) the differential reinforcement of high rates at the moment of reinforcement (Ferster & Skinner, 1957, p. 459;Powers, 1968); (4) the increase in the rate of reinforcement that occurs collateral to increase in rate of responding (Neuringer & Reprints may be obtained from Charles B. Ferster, Department of Psychology, The American University, Washington, D.C. 20016.…”
