Popis: A study of neonatal behavior demonstrated that reinforcement with a dextrose solution of a tube-sucking response enhances tube sucking rate, while cessation of such reinforcement has an opposite effect. The gradual nature of the acquisition and decremental processes under these conditions, along with inferences made possible by control procedures, enable the conclusion that these effects were attributable to conditioning.
