Abstract
Male subjects tracked on a pursuit rotor at either 7 or 55 r/min. More “off-task” adjunctive behaviors such as eating, soda-drinking and facial grooming occurred in the aftermath of tracking at the higher speed. Eating was the dominant adjunctive behavior among the best trackers whereas grooming was dominant among the worst, suggesting a fundamental difference among subjects in their reactivity to external stimuli. It was suggested that uncertainty (HT) about reinforcement provides a more general task metric for inducing adjunctive behavior than does reinforcement rate.
