Reductions in Responding During Variable Time Schedules after Differential Reinforcement of Low-Rate Training.
Abstract
Rats were conditioned on differential reinforcement of low-rate (DRL) schedules. The number of responses emitted were reduced to near zero upon changing to variable time schedules which approximated the pattern and frequency of reinforcer delivery during DRL. These effects were similar to those observed when the response-reinforced dependency is removed following conditioning on other schedules of response dependent reinforcer presentation. (Author)
