Rats were trained to press a lever, with every response reinforced with water. After responding was established, nine rats were administered a brief shock after each lever press, and nine others were shocked after drinking. The two procedures resulted in similar suppression of responding, and examination of the latency data when responding was partially suppressed indicated that under both conditions response suppression was due primarily to an increase in the latency of the instrumental response, rather than to pausing between the instrumental and consummatory responses. Thus, punishment following either the instrumental or consummatory component of the simple response sequence reduced the number of sequences initiated, rather than selectively suppressing the punished behavior.
训练大鼠按压杠杆，每次按压后用糖水强化。在建立反应后，对9只大鼠每次按压杠杆后给予短暂电击，另外9只大鼠在饮水后电击。这两种程序导致相似的反应抑制，并且在反应部分被抑制时对潜伏期数据的检查表明，在两种条件下反应抑制主要是由于工具性反应潜伏期的增加，而不是由于工具性反应和终结性反应之间的停顿。因此，在简单反应序列的工具性或终结性成分之后的惩罚减少了启动的序列数量，而不是选择性地抑制受惩罚的行为。
