The reinforcement in adaptive behaviour performs at least two functions: satisfaction of specific need (activational component) and estimation of signal significance of the conditioned stimulus while comparing the nervous model of the stimulus with current afferentation (informational component). In usual conditioning experiments with permanent reinforcement these components concide and therefore do not differ. However, they may be separated in the case of probabilistic reinforcement by changing stimuli contingency and shifting motivational level. With this aim the diagrams of probabilistic stimuli and reactions space, semantic and pragmatic matrices are worked out, allowing to estimate correlations of these parameters of conditioning experiments. Comparative psychophysiological investigations showed the possibility of determination of species peculiarities in behavioural choice strategies among various animals under above mentioned conditions.
满足特定需求（激活成分）以及在将刺激的神经模型与当前传入信息进行比较时评估条件刺激的信号意义（信息成分）。在常规的持续强化条件实验中，这些成分是一致的，因此没有区别。然而，在概率性强化的情况下，通过改变刺激的偶然性和改变动机水平，它们可能会被区分开来。出于这个目的，绘制了概率性刺激和反应空间图、语义和语用矩阵，从而能够评估条件实验中这些参数的相关性。比较心理生理学研究表明，在上述条件下，可以确定不同动物行为选择策略中的物种特性。
