Abstract

Rats were trained in a runway under food deprivation with either one or 10 food pellets as reward. All Ss were then tested under relative food satiation and reward magnitude was reversed for half the Ss in both groups. No D by K interaction was observed. During satiation, Ss for which rewards were reversed showed large reductions in running speed, while nonreversed Ss much smaller decrements, although all Ss showed some reduction in both running and eating behavior. These data were interpreted as consistent with Spence’s interpretation of incentive motivation.
