Alley section effects on blocking
Tóm tắt
The acquisition of discriminative stimulus control by brightness cues after prior discrimination training with hedonic cues produced by reward and nonreward in a successive go/no-go runway situation varied as a function of alley section. Blocking was substantial and perhaps complete in the start section, considerable in the run section, and entirely absent in the goal section. Explaining these findings has implications for understanding stimulus control in instrumental situations.
