MODIFICATION OF ESCAPE RESPONDING IN HUMANS BY INCREASING THE MAGNITUDE OF AN AVERSIVE EVENT1

Harold Weiner

Open full text 13 citations

Abstract

Escape responding of humans on an avoidance-escape schedule was replaced by avoidance responding by increasing the magnitude of the aversive stimulus. The aversive stimulus consisted of a point loss period. The shift from escape to avoidance responding was effected under a condition of response cost.
