Abstract
3 male high-school students participated in an experiment designed to determine the effects of the magnitude of a monetary reinforcer on human behavior in a complex situation. A two-key concurrent schedule of reinforcement was used with drl as one component and either FI or VI as the second component. It was demonstrated that increasing the reinforcement magnitude for the drl schedule produced a small transient increase in the rate of responding on the FI or VI components, even though the magnitude of reinforcement remained constant for these components.Keywords
