| dc.description.abstract | Demonstrated that the determinants of choice and preference are different for pigeons and humans exposed to the same concurrent schedules of reinforcement. Four male pigeons and 4 male undergraduates replicated E. Fantino's (see record 1970-03386-001 ) experiment that manipulated initial-link duration to test the divergent predictions of the delay-reproduction and reinforcement-density equations. Condition 1 exposed Ss to VI 90-sec and 30-sec initial links. Conditions 2 and 3 arranged equal initial-link schedules of 40 sec or 120 sec. Pigeons strongly preferred the alternative with the shorter terminal-link time to reinforcement, while delay-reduction equations did not predict the performance of humans in the unequal initial-link. | |
