Abstract
The study demonstrated the effectiveness of tape-recorded answering calls as reinforcers of vocal behavior in a female agile gibbon. Following baseline, typical conditioning, extinction, and reconditioning effects were demonstrated. The findings support the proposition that many species-typical behaviors may act as reinforcers.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
