INTERRESPONSE‐TIME PUNISHMENT: A BASIS FOR SHOCK‐MAINTAINED BEHAVIOR
Abstract
Lever pressing of squirrel monkeys postponed brief electric shock according to a free-operant shock-postponement procedure. Pressing also produced shock with a probability proportional to the duration of the current interresponse time in some conditions, or to the fifth ordinally-preceding interresponse time in others. These conditions provided equal frequencies and temporal distributions of response-produced shocks either contingent on or …
