Conjugate Reinforcement

In conjugate reinforcement the rate of Ss responding directly controls the intensity of a reinforcing event. Four conjugate contingencies were used to evaluate radio listening as a reinforcer for human operant responding. Results from 2 Ss clearly demonstrated that radio listening can be used like other events to reinforce response rates. The method of directly recording the listening response was also sensitive to commercials.

Listening, a significant dimension of the behavior of hearing-impaired children, may be measured directly by recording childrens' responses to obtain audio narrations programmed via a conjugate reinforcement system. Twelve hearing-impaired, school-aged children responded in varying ways to the opportunity to listen. Direct and continuous measurement of listening has relevance for evaluation of remediation methods and for discovery of variables potentially related to listening.

Reliable Preference

Two groups of 12 8-wk.-old kittens were tested for the reinforcing effect of illumination change resulting from displacement of a spherical plastic manipulandum. For one group responding turned on a dim light in the darkened test box, and for the other group responding turned the light off. Both groups were given 3 familiarization sessions followed by 8 test sessions in which one of two identical manipulanda affected illumination. The onset group developed a reliable preference for the light change manipulandum, and the light offset group did not.
