Electric shock and time out were compared as punishers in the squirrel monkey. At the parameters investigated, both suppressed responding to about the same degree. Scheduling punishment intermittently or administering pentobarbital reduced the effectiveness of both punishers. The effects of the punishers were different in that responding suppressed by shock recovered more within a session than responding suppressed by time out. Responding was suppressed after some shock-punishment components, but less often after time-out-punishment components. The similarities of the two punishers were more striking than the differences.
在松鼠猴中，对电击和超时作为惩罚手段进行了比较。在所研究的参数条件下，二者对反应的抑制程度大致相同。间歇性安排惩罚或给予戊巴比妥会降低两种惩罚手段的有效性。两种惩罚手段的效果有所不同，即电击抑制的反应在一个实验环节内比超时抑制的反应恢复得更多。在一些电击惩罚环节后反应受到抑制，但在超时惩罚环节后反应受抑制的情况较少。两种惩罚手段的相似之处比差异更为显著。
