Abstract
Satiated Ss were exposed to a distinctive food in a runway goal box on a consistent or intermittent basis. Half of the Ss in each group had prior experience with the food and the other half were naive. Tested under deprivation, a partial reinforcement effect was obtained, the effect being stronger for the Ss which were experienced with the food.
