Abstract
When given pre‐conditioning instructions correctly indicating the maximum number of reinforcements obtainable, subjects made few responses during extinction following FR 10 conditioning. More extinction responses occurred when the maximum‐reinforcement instructions suggested that reinforcements were obtainable during extinction. The highest rates of responding during extinction were produced by subjects who had no maximum‐reinforcement instructions.Keywords
