Several lines of work involving reinforcement manipulations have produced early performance differences between differentially reinforced subjects. Late in training, these differences have disappeared. In the present study, similar effects were found using 10-and 3D-sec delays of reinforcement. Delay shifts produced an NCE but no PCE. It is proposed that the late acquisition effects have not been considered in most learning models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
