Pigeons were exposed to delayed-matching-to-sample (DMTS) procedures in which food or a flash of the feeder light followed correct responses. When these consequences were correlated with a particular stimulus (e.g., food followed matching responses to red and a flash of the feeder light followed matching responses to green), accuracy was higher (i.e., stimulus control was greater) than when discriminative stimuli and consequences were not correlated. Although stimulus control in the absence of drug appeared to be weaker under the uncorrelated procedure, neither d-amphetamine (0.5–3.0 mg/kg) in Experiment 1 nor ethosuximide (40–160 mg/kg) in Experiment 2 disrupted accuracy to a greater extent under that procedure. These results, like those of a prior investigation, suggest that drug efects are similar under DMTS procedures regardless of whether correlated or uncorrelated outcomes are arranged. |
