  • Title: [Importance of reinforcement to differentiation of instrumental conditioned reflex signals in rats].

    Journal: Zh Vyssh Nerv Deiat Im I P Pavlova; 1981; 31(6):1217-23. PubMed ID: 7331508.
    Abstract:
    Differentiation to reflexes with defensive reinforcement is elaborated in deprived rats more readily and is more pronounced than to those with drinking reinforcement. This is also confirmed in other experimental series: with a transfer to reinforcement of both positive and differentiation signals, with reversal of their significance, with a stochastic stereotype, with drawing closer the pitch of the differentiation and positive tones. In a stereotype of alternating positive reflexes with drinking reinforcement and of their differentiations, the animals' reactions are predominantly linked to the alternation of signals, while in the case of defensive reinforcement they are linked to the acoustic signals.
