Abstract

The effect of duration of training on stimulus control was assessed in pigeons using an operant paradigm. As the amount of training increased from 11 to 22 to 44 days, stimulus control increased, but there was no difference between the 44-day trained and 88-day trained pigeons. The results are attributed to different numbers of reinforcers. The possibility of an interaction between number of reinforcers and stimulus exposure is discussed. Suggestions are made for future research to assess the relative contribution of these variables.
