Abstract
This study tested a set of predictions concerning approach response perseveration during extinction derived from an S-R model against predictions derived from a cognitive dissonance model, in a 100% reward, 100% punishment situation. Both reward and punishment magnitudes during acquisition were varied in a factorial design. The data supported the dissonance predictions. Perseveration during extinction was found to increase following strong punishment during acquisition, and to increase following lower rewards during acquisition, when these rewards were paired with strong punishment. In addition GSR data also supported the dissonance model.
