Abstract:An experiment manipulating both reward-magnitude contrast and delay of reinforcement is reported. The results indicated that odor cues are produced under conditions of delayed large-reward versus nonreward contrast but not under large- versus small-reward contrast. Additional magnitude and delay manipulations that resulted in the elimination of odor-based double-alternation patterning in the straight runway are presented.
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.
