Four pigeons were exposed to second-order schedules of token reinforcement, with stimulus lights serving as token reinforcers. Tokens were earned according to a fixed-ratio (token-production) schedule, with the opportunity to exchange tokens for food (exchange period) occurring after a fixed number had been produced (exchange-production ratio).…

Proposes that the label attached to an attitudinal object influences the relationship between the stated attitude and the reaction to the attitudinal object. Results support the hypothesis. Bibliography. (JB)

The primary objective of the proposed research was to investigate the effects on learning of various stimulus-response (S-R) mapping schemes. It was hypothesized that S-R connections are not simply arbitrary, that the way stimulus and response classes are mapped together may have a profound effect on learning rate. To study this problem, two…

In this questionnaire, statements about Vietnam are presented to the subject in pairs, and he is asked to choose which of the pair better represents his own opinion. There are 15 statements producing a paired comparison task of 105 items. (See TM 001 310.) (MS)

Research emanated from the need to find a situation for experimenting with children for an extended number of sessions. (Author)

Children who observed a very generous adult model sharing, later shared more than those who observed a very stingy model. The effects of vicarious reinforcement on the amount shared, delivered by either the experimenter or the model alone, were also demonstrated. (Authors)
