Abstract

Previous research has shown that aversive stimulation causes aggression in several lower species of mammals prior to any specific conditioning. Our results show that fighting in response to shock tends to persist in spite of negative reinforcement for other behavior. The frequency of shock-induced fights decreased significantly only when the reinforcement of shock termination was made contingent upon a specific nonaggressive response.

摘要

先前的研究表明，在任何特定的条件作用之前，厌恶刺激会在几种低等哺乳动物中引发攻击行为。我们的研究结果表明，尽管对其他行为存在负强化，但对电击做出的战斗反应往往会持续存在。只有当电击终止的强化取决于特定的非攻击性行为时，电击诱发的战斗频率才会显著降低。
