Latent discrimination learning under a regular schedule of partial reinforcement

摘要: In this investigation, which employed rats in a runway, discriminative responding consisted of faster running on the reinforced than nonreinforced trials either 4NR or R4N schedule, both schedules containing fixed, repeated sequences and trials. Under four preceded trial each day, under was followed by day. The major finding obtained that improved very substantially shift to extinction. Rats maintained schedule did not show responding, nor improve extinction following training consistent reinforcement. Latent discrimination learning defined as fails reflect adequately amount accomplished. present findings demonstrate latent for regular partial reinforcement, something already demonstrated brightness differential conditioning possibly DRL schedules, well.
