Abstract
Reinforcement was based on position in a two-choice situation and occurred consecutively on the same side until a shift was cued by a change of nonsense form. A lag of 0, 1, 2, or 3 display presentations intervened between the change of nonsense form and the shift in reinforcement. Human Ss clearly mastered the Lag 0 and Lag 1 treatments, but did poorly with the others.
