Description
Following 20 shock-escape training trials, two experimental groups of
rats were reinforced for either running quickly (DRH animals could
preclude shock in the center section of the runway by decreasing their
starting latencies) or for running slowly (DRL animals could preclude
shock in the center section of the runway by increasing their starting
latencies). Results showed that the DRH animals were running consistently
faster than the DRL animals. The results were discussed in
terms of the existing explanations of vicious circle behavior, as well
as in terms of the differential effects of the reinforcement contingencies.
