Abstract

The effects of deprivation level, goal-related cues, and delay of reinforcement on the extinction of a position discrimination response were observed. Deprivation level and cues did not differentially affect rate of extinction or the number of perseveration responses. Delay of reinforcement resulted in a lower level of performance at the end of acquisition and during extinction, and for immediate reinforcement Ss, the rate of decline during extinction was faster although they showed greater initial perseveration.
