Abstract
Hooded rats pressing a bar for food reward on a fixed interval schedule were shocked after every 1, 2, 4, or 8 responses with.6 ma shocks of.25,.50, or 1.0 sec. duration. All Ss eventually ceased responding. In retest sessions two weeks later, several Ss who had received the least frequent punishment were among those who did not resume bar pressing. Only for the shorter shock durations was partial punishment less effective than punishment for every response.
