Popis: | This study describes the relationship between the tranquilizing drug chlordiazepoxide HCL and different magnitudes of reward during acquisition and extinction of a partially reinforced runway response. The results do not support predictions drawn directly from Amsel’s (1958, 1962) frustrative nonreward hypothesis. Animals exhibited the same magnitude of reward extinction effect whether sedated during acquisition or not. Some evidence was found of a reversal in this effect in animals sedated in both acquisition and extinction. |
