Abstract
The schedule of presentation of an exteroceptive stimulus linking components of a chained schedule was varied, while the schedule of primary reinforcement remained unchanged. Under one procedure, association of the stimulus and primary reinforcement occurred on occasions when responses in the initial component produced the stimulus; under a second procedure, the association occurred when the stimulus did not immediately follow lever responses in the initial component (DRO schedule). The pattern of responding in the initial component changed from one characteristic of the schedule of primary reinforcement to one characteristic of the schedule of presentation of the exteroceptive stimulus. Overall response rate was higher in the first procedure.
