The construct of conditioned reinforcement has been challenged over the past two decades, both as an adequate explanation of behavior in various situations (e.g., behavioral chains) in which it was previously regarded as crucial and in terms of the validity of the concept of conditioned value on which it is based. Recent research is reviewed that answers these criticisms and vindicates the importance of the construct. Also discussed are unanswered empirical issues regarding the concept and its implications for behavioral phenomena of major importance for general-process learning theory, such as autoshaping and imprinting.
在过去的二十年中，条件强化的构建受到了挑战，不仅因为它之前被认为是各种情况下（例如行为链）行为的关键解释，还因为它所基于的条件价值概念的有效性受到了挑战。本文回顾了最近的研究，这些研究回答了这些批评，并证明了该构建的重要性。此外，本文还讨论了该概念的一些未解决的实证问题及其对一般过程学习理论中重要行为现象（例如自动塑造和印痕）的影响。
