Pigeons were trained to peck with differing force requirements on a key specially designed to measure and control force of pecking without changes in the mechanical threshold. Following training on a key illuminated by a single wavelength, a generalization test was given. Force and rate gradients were obtained. Force gradients were shown to have a form similar to rate gradients. The slope of the force gradients was a direct function of the force of responding at the conclusion of training. Rate gradients were independent of the force of responding.
鸽子接受训练,在一个专门设计用于测量和控制啄击力且机械阈值不变的按键上,按照不同的力要求进行啄击。在一个由单一波长照亮的按键上进行训练后,进行了泛化测试。获得了力梯度和速率梯度。结果表明,力梯度的形式与速率梯度相似。力梯度的斜率是训练结束时反应力的直接函数。速率梯度与反应力无关。
