Recovery from punishment as a function of deprivation level
Tóm tắt
Rats lived in an operant conditioning chamber where maintenance water was continuously available as a consequence of leverpressing. Under these conditions of very low deprivation, a 1-day period of shock punishment severely suppressed responding. To observe the influence of increased motivation on recovery from punishment, Ss were deprived of water outside the chamber for 0, 24, or 72 h and then returned for a 3-day observation period with the punishment contingency removed. Ss that were not water-deprived at the start of recovery had relatively long recovery latencies, requiring about 28 h on the average to resume responding. By comparison, Ss that were either 24 or 72 h water-deprived required less than half that time to recover. The results were interpreted as supporting a conflict analysis of the effects of deprivation on recovery from punishment.
