Abstract
Preschool Ss performed on a 2-stimulus, 1-button apparatus for 60 trials, 45 of these being forced to one light or the other, and the remainder being freechoice trials. The reward was delivered immediately to one of the lights and after a delay to the other. The choice measure resulted in a significant increase in frequency of the immediately-rewarded light over trials. "Though a relatively greater increase occurred to the immediate-reward stimulus, this trend being in accord with those of previous studies of delayed reward, this effect was not significant.
