Abstract
Kindergarten children received 48 lever-pulling trials under conditions of partial (33%) or continuous (100%) verbal reinforcement. Over training, partial reinforcement led to increasingly faster speeds relative to continuous reward. These data are consistent with previous research employing tangible reinforcers, and with current theoretical formulations of the role of nonreinforcement in partial-reinforcement situations.
