Effects of D-amphetamine on response acquisition with immediate and delayed reinforcement
Article Abstract:
Response acquisition is seen under immediate and delayed reinforcement procedures, and at all doses of d-amphetamine in rats. Operative-lever pressing increases or remains unaltered in the presence of a low dose of d-amphetamine. Higher doses generate an initial decrease in lever pressing. In the absence of d-amphetamine, responding occurs on the operative lever at immediate reinforcement. Doses of d-amphetamine fail to have a detrimental effect on the process of learning.

The effects of behavioral history on response acquisition with immediate and delayed reinforcement
Article Abstract:
A study, to determine the effect of behavioural history on response acquisition with immediate and delayed reinforcement, is conducted where rats were exposed to a six-hour response acquisition session, where presses on one lever produced water delivery immediate or after a small delay and the other lever canceled the water delivery. When water deliveries were delayed, then the response acquisition was slower.

Response induction during the acquisition and maintenance of lever pressing with delayed reinforcement
Article Abstract:
The experimental demonstration of identical levers pressed by group of rats in the random-interval (RI) fixed-time (FT) schedule using different delay of reinforcement is presented. The study shows that the reinforcement rate determines the response-induction.
