Abstract

This study compared the secondary reinforcing properties of two cues distinguished on the basis of their prior significance in a brightness discrimination problem: a cue discriminative for reinforcement but not present in the goal region (a non-redundant predictor of reward) and a cue present in the goal region but irrelevant to the acquisition of the required discrimination (a redundant predictor or reward). The findings suggest that both cues were equally effective in reinforcing a simple position habit.
