Classically Conditioned

The present study describes the first demonstration that laboratory-controlled experimental procedures can lead to the successful acquisition and subsequent retention of classically conditioned beginning reading responses (CCBRRs) in children of both sexes and mean age of 4 yr. Anticipatory instructions combined with higher-order classical conditioning temporally arranged into a trace conditioning paradigm presented for 10 trials for each response to be learned led to beginning reading responses being successfully acquired by 20 children during 95% of the 2,220 total acquisition learning trials and subsequently correctly recalled on 114 of the 222 retention test trials. Findings support the view that perhaps the relatively sudden and sustained acquisition learning curves for reading responses on the second-signalling-system level of behavior in the present study may be quite different from the relatively slow and incremental learning curves usually obtained in classical conditioning of the autonomic type which occur on the first-signalling-system level.

Classical Conditioning Procedure

The suppression of a rewarded response receiving delayed punishment was examined when a stimulus, previously paired in conditioning trials with punishment, was introduced briefly with the response. Three groups of 20 alcoholics were employed. All received preliminary stimulation by a tone and punishment (shock), but only Group E received these stimuli in a conditioning paradigm. An instrumental response was subsequently trained in all Ss under immediate reward (money). When performance reached criterion, delayed punishment also was administered for this response. During these punished trials, the tone occurred briefly, immediately following the rewarded response for Groups E and C1. The remaining group (C2) received no tone on these trials. The response was more quickly suppressed in E than in C groups, and the two C groups did not differ in response suppression. The evidence was interpreted in terms of classical conditioning principles, and some practical implications of this finding were considered.
