Positive Contrast in the Runway Obtained with Delay of Reward

1 Psychology Department, University of California, Santa Barbara References and Notes

The failure to find positive contrast effects in the runway may be attributed to a ceiling effect that can be overcome with the use of delay of reward. Rats were trained one trial a day in a runway with small, medium, or large reward. When a shift to large reward was combined with delay of reward, shift groups slowed down less than controls.
