Abstract
The successive habit reversal performances of pigeons under two levels of drive and two levels of incentive magnitude were examined on a spatial task. While the fewest total errors and sessions per problem were produced by the high incentive group, the high drive group produced the greatest initial errors. However, significant asymptotic differences were found only for the incentive conditions.Keywords
