BEHAVIORAL CONTRAST DURING MULTIPLE AVOIDANCE SCHEDULES

G A WERTHEIM. J Exp Anal Behav. 1965 Sep.

Abstract

Changes were observed in the rate of avoidance responding in both components of a multiple schedule of Sidman-avoidance after the shock frequency was changed in only one component. The rate change in each component was positively correlated, in direction and magnitude, with the change in the relative rate of reinforcement (percentage of total shocks) in that component.
