The Effects of Differential Autoshaping and Autoshaping on Key Pressing Antecedents in Retarded Individuals
… To investigate the effects of a differential autoshaping procedure as a means by which errorless visual discrimination might be acquired by retarded adults with the key press as the dependent variable. Procedure. The four participants were exposed to either a differential autoshaping procedure …

A Comparison of Response-Contingent and Response-Independent Autoshaping Trials In Rats
<p>Autoshaping is a procedure, combining both operant conditioning and classical conditioning, used in animal training to jump-start a target behavior. Lepper and Petursdottir (2017) found that response-contingent pairings (RCP) were more effective than responseindependent pairings (RIP) in …

The Generality of the Autoshaped Response
The problem. To determine if autoshaping is restricted to responses which are biologically preorganized, or if a response which is not overlearned or pre-organized, but is elicited by an appetitive stimulus (grain), can be autoshaped. Procedure. The autoshaped responses of two debeaked pigeons …

An Investigation into Establishing (Motivating) Operations
… been trained to emit the peck using either an autoshaping or handshaping procedure. The intention of this was to then be able to use the video analysis to assess the effect of altering two MOs related to two different reinforcers (e.g., food and water) at one time, on morphology. The study …

Peak Shift in Pigeon and Human Categorisation
… could be explained by the interaction of the autoshaping producing a ‘prototype effect’, i.e. a generalisation gradient with a maximum at the Prototype of the positive category, which masks the development of the peak shift. Further experiments showed that a similar abolition of the peak shift …

Neuropsychology of reinforcement processes in the rat
… that has been demonstrated previously. An autoshaping deficit was also observed when lesions were made following training. The phenomenon of Pavlovian–instrumental transfer was intact in these subjects. The hypothesis was developed that the ACC is not critical for the formation of …
