Reversibility of single-incentive selective associations
Article Abstract:
Two experiments were conducted to determine the behavioral responses of two groups of rats to auditory and visual stimuli. When the two stimuli were introduced separately, one group responded to the visual stimulus and the other group responded to the auditory stimulus. The rats' responses were assessed by a system in which a positive response attracted appreciation and a negative response punishment. A compound auditory and visual stimulus proved effective in analyzing the impact of auditory and visual controls.
