Abstract
"Rats were trained on a T-maze under either a 50:50 or a 85:15 reinforcement schedule and then shifted to a 30:70 schedule. With noncorrection training, preshift choices approached an asymptote at 100% to the more likely alternative. Postshift choices dropped considerably below the 30% pay-off level without special resistance to readjustment by the rats shifted from the 50:50 schedule. Noncorrection training proved more efficient than correction training, and the rats made a higher percentage of successful choices than humans run under analogous conditions."
