General activity as instrumental: application to avoidance training

V GRAF et al. J Exp Anal Behav. 1963 Apr.

Abstract

Some data on Sidman avoidance in the pigeon are presented to illustrate a technique of instrumental training which places minimal restriction upon the form of the reinforced response. The effect of a warning signal is demonstrated, and the course of discrimination-reversal is described.
