Abstract
A procedure for studying the repeated acquisition of four-member response sequences in rats was developed. Early in training incorrect responses constituted approximately 60% of the total responses emitted during a session, and no evidence of within-session acquisition was observed After 100 training sessions incorrect responses constituted approximately 25% of total responses and within-session acquisition was observed, as evidenced by runs of up to 14 errorless sequence completions during the latter portions of training sessions. The behavior generated after extended training was similar to behavior maintained by repeated acquisition baselines for pigeons and monkeys in over-all levels of error and in the pattern of within-session acquisition.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
