Some 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...

Operant 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...
