Abstract
Running speed and choice behavior of rats choosing between 50% and 100% reinforcement were evaluated in acquisition and extinction against the base-line performance of rats choosing between equivalent 100% reinforcements. In agreement with past results, no PRE [partial-reinforcement effect] was obtained within Ss [subjects]; and the between-S PRE did not differ whether evaluated in terms of the formerly partially reinforced alternative or in terms of the formerly continuously reinforced alternative. This latter fact probably is not simply a consequence of generalization between common stimulus elements in the alternatives of the T maze.Keywords
