Abstract
The present study compared the response-eliminating properties of omission training, extinction training, and a variable-time schedule within pigeons following training on a variable-interval schedule. The results indicated that both omission training and extinction training eliminated responding significantly more efficiently than did the variable-time schedule, although they did not differ significantly from each other in their response-eliminating effects. In addition, response rates during the variable-time schedule tended to increase above baseline (i.e., positive behavioral contrast) in all subjects by the end of training. Possible explanations for these effects were discussed.
