“…After complete learning, generalization between the two events should, of course, be greatly reduced, so that the rate of extinction to either situa-tion would approach the rate appropriate for that situation alone. This view is similar to those of Jenkins (1961), and D 'Amato, Schiff, and Jagoda (1962), who, along with Wickens and Snide (1955) have obtained evidence consistent with it.…”

“…The present studies used a straight alley and two types of discrimination. Theios and Poison (1962) also employed a straight alley, whereas D 'Amato et al (1962) and Jenkins (1961) used freeoperant situations, and Wickens and Snide (1955) used GSR, in which S-was one element of a compound S+. Either nonreinforcement or partial reinforcement in Sproduces a GPRE to the positive response after a small amount of discrimination training.…”

Resistance to extinction of a runway response in rats was determined after discrimination training and after continuous reward training. Small and large amounts of training were given under 2 discrimination conditions, with either 0% or 50% reinforcement to the negative stimulus (S-); the positive stimulus (S+) always received 100% reinforcement. Small amounts of any type of discrimination training produced generalized partial reinforcement effects, resistance to extinction being greater than after continuous reinforcement. After large amounts of training, increased resistance disappeared for Ss on simple discrimination, but persisted for Ss partially reinforced to S-. Results support either Logan's rg hypothesis or Lawrence and Festinger's dissonance theory.

“…Responses to S 2 ~ occur less frequently as discrimination training continues, and thus reinforcement becomes progressively more regular. The intermittency of reinforcement in discrimination training has been noted by others including Skinner (1938, p. 198), Wickens and Snide (1955), and Amsel (1958). Now, it is well established that intermittent reinforcement increases resistance to extinction over regular reinforcement.…”

“…La qüestió en litigi era quina de les següents interpretacions de l'entrenament de discriminació s'ajustava més a la realitat: a) L'entrenament de discriminació implica successius recondicionaments i extincions la conseqüencia dels quals sera la disminució de la resistencia a l'extinció de la resposta reforcada (SKINNER, 1938;JENKINS, 1961;MCCROSKERY, 1970). b) L'entrenament de discriminació implica reforcament intermitent, aixo fara augmentar la resistencia a l'extinció de la resposta (WICKENS i SNIDE, 1955;JENKINS, 1961;D'AMATO, SCHIFF i JAGODA, 1962;BIRCH, ALLISON i HOUSE, 1963). Al voltant d'aquesta qüestió es plantejaven els problemes de les mesures del procés d'extinció, i la definició del moment en el qual la taxa s'estabilitza al voltant de zero.…”

La extinción de una respuesta (instrumentalnzente condicionada) suele expresarse por el número de respuestas emitidas hasta que la tasa se estabiliza en un valor próximo a cero. El presente trabajo es un intento de describir con mejores medidas la extinción. Partiendo de tres grupos de ratas sometidas a distintas condiciones de entrenamiento y extinción de la respuesta a la palanca, hemos deducido ecuaciones de extinción de los datos empíricos. Dichas ecuaciones han resultado ser rectas, cuya ordenada en el origen representa lo que se llama la resistencia a la extinción, y cuya pendiente representa la velocidad de extinción (que disminuye en caso de decremento por generalización). Ambos son capaces de distinguir entre grupos que difieren significativamente según análisis de varianza. La integral de dichas rectas (entre tiempo cero y el tiempo transcurrido hasta que cada sujeto hace una. pausa superior o igual a cuatro minutos) es la misma para todos los grupos. La integral es considerada definitoria del proceso de extinción tras determinado número de reforzamientos. Se discuten posibles implicacioizes de estos hallazgos en las formulaciones teóricas del condicionamiento instrumental.
