Effects of alley brightness cue manipulation preceding shock on self-punitive responding in the rat
… also demonstrated that a cue change in the first alley segment reduced vc·responding as effectively as a total alley cue change. Changing the lower startbox cues was less effective and changing Segment 2 cues had little effect on VC behavior. The results were consistent with the ISI effects found …

The interaction of delay and magnitude of the reward on acquisition and extinction in the straight alley runway
<p>The purpose of this study is to clarify and accurately describe the interactive effects of several amounts of reward and delay on acquisition and extinction or rats in a straight runway. A factorial study involving several levels of reward and delay is presented to further describe and possibly …

The Effect of Shifts in Reward Magnitude and Changes of Schedule of Reinforcement on Resistance to Extinction
… concerned the resistance to extinction of an alley running response as a function of various combinations of reward sizes (l or 10 pellets) and schedules of reinforcement (50 or 100%). Three experimental phases were used (acquisition, shift of reward, and extinction). Three measures were taken …
