Abstract
Tested an implication of the drive-stimulus reduction hypothesis: the greater the time interval between the response and the reinforcing event the poorer is the conditioning performance. Delay was produced by increasing the duration of the UCS. Found the short UCS group was superior. This finding supports the drive-stimulus reduction hypothesis especially when considered in relation to possible factors operating in this situation which would tend to work in a direction opposite to that of the UCS duration variable.
