Abstract
Discriminative punishment of a particular response is more effective than the conditioned emotional response (CER) procedure for suppression of that response (Experiment 1). In tests with a response-shift procedure (Experiment 2) and a concurrent-schedule procedure (Experiment 3), however, the magnitude of suppression of an unpunished response of subjects in a discriminative punishment procedure was indistinguishable from that of CER subjects. Thus, the suppression produced by the CER treatment is related to the signal but independent of any particular response, while the suppression produced by discriminative punishment is related both to the signal and to the specific response.
