Abstract:Bar-press rates of monkeys for different concentrations of sucrose solution used as the reinforcer were not influenced by changes in reinforcement context in the form of the order of presentation of the concentrations and the number of concentrations. After some initial changes unrelated to reinforcement context, the form and level of the rate-concentration function remained practically constant over the course of a considerable number of test sessions.
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.
