Reinforcement contingencies defined by the response deprivation hypothesis were evaluated in two multiple-response contexts. In one context a high probability response was freely available, and in the other context a low probability response was freely available. In the presence of the low probability, freely available response, a consistent reinforcement effect was evident for all 3 moderately mentally retarded participants; however, in the presence of the high probability response, the reinforcement effect was attenuated. Results were qualitatively consistent with several recent mathematical descriptions of behavior emphasizing the importance of the context in which reinforcement contingencies are introduced.
在两种多反应情境中评估了由反应剥夺假说定义的强化偶联。在一种情境中，高概率反应可自由获得，而在另一种情境中，低概率反应可自由获得。在低概率、可自由获得的反应出现时，所有3名中度智力障碍参与者都有明显的一致强化效果；然而，在高概率反应出现时，强化效果减弱。结果在质量上与最近一些强调引入强化偶联情境重要性的行为数学描述一致。
