Temporally Discriminated Operant Responding in Fish
In Experiment 1, groups of 10 goldfish and of 10 grey mullet were trained to press a lever for food under a fixed, daily, light cycle. The periods during which responses were reinforced were restricted to two, 1-hr periods in every 24 hrs. These periods occurred at the same time each day. Responses were coordinated with the temporal contingencies of the schedule, and this pattern persisted for ...
متن کاملOperant Behavior
WE are interested in the behavior of an organism because of its effects on the environment. (One effect on the social environment is, of course, the arousal of our interest.) Some effects seem to throw light on the behavior which produces them, but their explanatory role has been clouded by the fact that they follow the behavior and, therefore, raise the specter of teleology. An attempt has bee...
متن کاملSome factors involved in the stimulus control of operant behavior.
The stimuli which are present when an operant is reinforced modify the subsequent frequency of emission of the response. For example, if a hungry pigeon is reinforced with food when it pecks a translucent key upon which a monochromatic light is projected, it will subsequently peck most rapidly when the light is of the same wavelength. Guttman (3) has reported that a difference of 2 millimicrons...
متن کاملDelayed reinforcement of operant behavior.
The experimental analysis of delay of reinforcement is considered from the perspective of three questions that seem basic not only to understanding delay of reinforcement, but, also, by implication, the contributions of temporal relations between events to operant behavior. The first question is whether effects of the temporal relation between responses and reinforcers can be isolated from othe...
متن کاملA comparison of the effects of pimozide and nonreinforcement on discriminated operant responding in rats.
Some controversy surrounds the interpretation of the effects of dopamine receptor blocking drugs on conditioned operant responding. To assess the motoric versus the reinforcement-reducing consequences of these compounds, the effects of pimozide (1.0 mg/kg) and nonreinforcement on discriminated operant responding were compared. Rats were trained extensively on a successive discrimination impleme...
