Abstract
Reinforcement for the pressing of a bar was administered to 4 groups of rats ( n = 40) immediately, or after a steadily increasing, steadily decreasing, or fixed 45-sec. delay. Those in the group receiving an increasing delay of reward were significantly more resistant to extinction than the other groups. Implications for Amsel's frustration hypothesis are discussed.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
