Attack produced by intermittent reinforcement of a concurrent operant response

R R Hutchinson et al. J Exp Anal Behav. 1968 Jul.

Abstract

Squirrel monkeys pressed a lever to produce food on several fixed-ratio schedules; they could also bite a rubber hose. Biting attack occurred during the postreinforcement pause and in early portions of the ratio response run. Also, biting attacks increased after transitions to higher values of the fixed-ratio requirement and in extinction. The results show that extinction-induced aggression effects occur in primates.
