Popis: Activity following nonreward in a single runway was measured, using a stabilimeter as the floor of the goalbox. Performance of partially reinforced Ss was compared to activity of continuously rewarded and never rewarded control groups. A substantial frustration effect was found above control group levels, establishing the validity of this procedure for measuring frustration produced by nonreward in terms of increments in general activity.
