Abstract

Behavioral effects of stimuli paired with reinforcement were investigations in a complex FI chain schedule with six mentally retarded Ss. The chain schedule permitted the assessment of increments in responding in the presence of an S D for briefly presented stimuli previously paired with candy reinforcement as well as changes in responding subsequent to stimulus presentation. Consistent response rate increases failed to emerge in the presence of the S D associated with stimuli paired with reinforcement. Responding for all Ss increased immediately subsequent to briefly presented paired stimuli. Results were consistent with an increased emotionality or frustration interpretation.
