Response rates were considerably lower when td was at the beginning of the cycle than when the opportunity to respond was at its end. non-contingent signals produced low rates of re-sponding; in contrast response produced signals were associated with high response rates. in general the results show that delay of reinforcement has detrimental effects on response acquisition even under short reinforcement cycles. Both non-contingent and contingent signals have facilitative effects on the response acquisition process, but the former favors low rates of respond-ing and the later favors high response rates. 2005 artículo científico 0185-4534 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=59331203 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=593 Revista Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta Revista Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta (México) Num.2 Vol.31 |
