Abstract

After learning a chain-pulling operant, rats were taught a bar-press response which was subsequently brought under SD-SΔ control for some Ss. The manipulanda occupied opposite ends of the apparatus and were never simultaneously present. Discrimination trained Ss continuously exposed to the SΔ for bar pressing during a chain-pull extinction test emitted significantly fewer responses than controls, a result interpreted as trans-response SΔ suppression. A similar decrement in chain pulling was obtained from Ss extinguished under constant exposure to the SD for bar pressing, a result limiting the generality of reports of SD facilitation across response classes.
