Tóm tắt

Rats subjected to FI 60-sec and FI 120-sec schedules of reinforcement were permitted concurrent access to a licking tube and a restrained target rat. While both polydipsia and attack occurred, polydipsia was the predominant scheduleinduced behavior. When attack occurred, and the licking tube was also available, attack usually followed licking in the interreinforcement interval. Eliminating access to the target did not influence polydipsia, and removal of the licking tube did not affect the frequency of aggressive episodes.
