Tóm tắt

Two pigeons were trained to make observing responses in a mixed FR FR schedule. Two responses to the observing key produced stimuli correlated with one or the other of the FRs. One of the FRs was then lowered to two to strengthen food behavior immediately after reinforcement.ne of the Ss showed a sizable drop in observing response output. The other pigeon’s observing response output dropped as the size of the larger FR was increased.
