Abstract

The controversy on inhibition in operant discriminations is examined in the light of Konorski’s models. Errorless learning apparently leads to “pure” drive inhibition by S-s. Nonreception of anticipated rewards during learning with errors can provoke both drive enhancement, and drive and response inhibition by S-s sharing some of the excitatory properties of S+s. These differences, rather than inhibitory phenomena per se, can explain contrast, peak shift, and U-shaped gradients of inhibition after learning with errors.
