FACILITATION OF LARGE RATIO PERFORMANCE BY USE OF CONDITIONED REINFORCEMENT

J D FINDLEY et al. J Exp Anal Behav. 1965 Mar.

Abstract

Fixed ratio performance was examined in the chimpanzee under two alternating conditions. In one, conditioned reinforcement followed successive fractions of the total ratio, and in the other it was omitted. Shorter pauses and working times, and the development of a strong preference resulted for the condition affording conditioned reinforcement.
