摘要：

A previous study showed flickering light to be a more effective reinforcer than steady light for the rat following pretest experience of 10 daily 1/2-h sessions in a dark box. The present study, using a 15-rrtin pretest period, showed higher response rates for steady light than for flickering light. This reversal cannot be explained in terms of the parameters of the reinforcing stimulus; the previous experience of the animal must also be considered. © 1969, Psychonomic Journals, Inc..
