Abstract
Pigeons trained in a Skinner box to discriminate a key with and without a figure projected upon it exhibited rapid responding to the positive stimulus and little or no responding to the negative. No more than two positives or negatives were presented successively. The Ss were then given sequences of eight positives followed by one negative. The resulting performance exhibited phenomena characteristic of human motor learning performance under massed practice (warm-up decrement, temporary and permanent work decrement, and reminiscence).
