Abstract
In 2 experiments it was found that rats with an alternating pattern of delay of reinforcement displayed patterned running during runway training. Contrary to the results using alternating and random partial reinforcements, Ss with a random pattern of delay of reinforcement in training failed to run faster in extinction.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
