Abstract
Following few-trials partial-reinforcement studies, the effect of number of food pellets (total magnitude of reward equated) on the development of the frustration effect (FE) was investigated. Multiple pellets in the first goalbox resulted in more rapid development of the FE but did not affect its terminal magnitude. In contrast, the number of pellets in the second goalbox had no effect on either the rate of development of the terminal strength of the FE. The results were seen as supporting the frustration-theory account of lew-trials experiments.
