Abstract

Twenty-seven pairs of preschool children were reinforced for simultaneous operant responses. Although a significant increase in cooperative responding occurred over the 10- min acquisition period, noncooperative responding also increased. It was concluded that the Ss were learning the operant response of “knob pressing” rather than a true “cooperative response.”
