“…First, partial delay of reinforcement produced greater resistance to extinction than immediate reinforcement when as few as three acquisition trials were given (Hewlett & Sheldon, 1968) or following training with a 24-hour intertrial interval, 90-day suspension of training, and interpolated immediate-reward training (Donin, Surridge, & Amsel, 1967). Second, Wike and Atwood (1970) and Wike, Mellgren, and Cour (1967) found that when a within-groups design was used, partial delay produced less resistance to extinction than immediate reinforcement.…”

A review of data and theories on delay of primary reinforcement in discrete trial instrumental learning is provided. The major areas of investigation that are reviewed include delay of negative reinforcement; measurements of delay effects; cue utilization in acquisition and extinction; resistance to extinction as a function of constant delay, partial delay, patterns of partial delay; contrast; and discrimination learning.
