Abstract
A further test of an interpretation based on social learning theory concerning the effects of delay on expectancies was carried out. Following common reinforcement, a delay group differed significantly from both a massed group and a changed-cue group, while the latter two groups were not significantly different from one another. Furthermore, there was a predicted trend for highly anxious Ss in the delay group to show greater decrements in expectancies than Ss of low anxiety.Keywords
