Abstract
School children received 60 trials on a 2-choice visual discrimination. A group which received candy as reward for correct choices, and a 98-db. tone as punishment for incorrect choices was intermediate in speed of learning. A punishment-alone group was fastest, a reward-alone group was slowest. "The results were explained in terms of increments in drive resulting from the intense tone and frustration."
