“…In addition to a number of metatheoretical problems that characterize this "functional relevance" hypothesis (cf. Dunham, 1977Dunham, , 1979, the data from the present experiments suggest that the categories of functional relevance (e.g., defensive, consummatory, escape, etc.) might not be a particularly effective basis for predicting how a response repertoire will change when aversive stimulation is introduced.…”

A multiple-response baseline of four activities was established using gerbils as subjects. When one of the baseline responses was punished (Experiment 1) or restricted (Experiments 2 and 3), only the most probable of the alternative baseline responses increased. The response most likely to follow the punished or restricted responses during baseline sessions was also suppressed during subsequent punishment or response-restriction treatment.

“…However, when the avoidance explanation was abandoned, this potential sideeffect was left in a theoretical vacuum, and its validity has been called into question. Even Dunham (1979) was not confident that the rule would survive future data, so the present failure to support this proposition is not unexpected. Dunham and Grantmyre (1982) found a reduction in the response that followed the punished response most frequently during baseline.…”

The present study examined the effects of response-cost on unpunished free-operant responses. Three university students made key-press responses on a computer keyboard and won and lost money as reinforcement and punishment, respectively. Only one response was ever reinforced or punished, but all responses were recorded. When response-cost was introduced for the target response, both target and non-target responses decreased. Whereas the target response remained at a low level throughout the punishment phase, most non-target responses eventually increased to their baseline levels. Of the three theoretical predictions assessed, support was found only for the proposition that the response that follows the punished response most frequently during baseline is reduced during the punishment phase.
