Differential Suppression by Punishment of Nonconsummatory Licking and Lever Pressing
Walters, Gary C.; Herring, Barbara
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 4, 2, 170-87, Apr 78
Five experiments investigated the differential effects of shock punishment on nonconsummatory licking (dry licking) and lever pressing. Results support a motivationally based theory of punishment involving the role of incentive stimuli associated with the particular responses studied. (Editor/RK)
