Punishment and Recover Y D Uring Fixed - Ra Tio Performa Nce ' Nathan
نویسنده
چکیده
When a reinforcement is delivered according to a fixed-ratio schedule, it has been found that responding occurs in a specific temporal pattern (Ferster & Skinner, 1957). Periods of no responding characteristically follow the delivery of the reinforcer. Once responding begins, it assumes a very high rate of several responses per second. The resulting performance is bivalued; responding occurs either at a high terminal rate or does not occur at all. Only under extremely low food deprivation or a high ratio requirement (Ferster & Skinner, 1957) does this pattern change significantly. The present report deals with the effects of punishment upon such fixed-ratio performance.
