Abstract
Contingent response requirement as well as payoff contingencies were manipulated to assess their influence upon schedule-induced activity in human subjects. Conditions which included various fixed-interval response topographies and a constant probability variable-interval reinforcement schedule were utilized to affect observation responding during a contingent detection task. Results obtained by the various manipulations indicated that the rates of schedule-induced activity in human subjects were inversely related to observation responding during fixed-interval detection intervals, while the variable-interval detection condition reduced the rates of schedule-induced activity to baseline levels. The time-course of schedule-induced activity in human subjects was demonstrated to be similar to that of infrahuman species.
