Abstract
Groups of white rats were trained under 22 hour water deprivation to receive rewards in black or white goal boxes, the various groups receiving 25, 50 and 75 reinforcements respectively. Subsequently each animal was given 15 trials in a simple T-maze, the black and white goal boxes again being used. "Results indicated that with an increasing number of primary reinforcements there is an increasing tendency for the animals to respond to the previously reinforced goal box during the learning series."
