A demonstration of auto-shaping with monkeys |
|
| Authors: | Murray Sidman and F. Garth Fletcher |
| Abstract: | The Brown-Jenkins auto-shaping procedure for pigeons was found applicable to monkeys. Repeated pairings of lighted keys with reinforcement generated key-pressing behavior. The animals rapidly learned a simultaneous light-dark discrimination. The topographies of key-pressing and magazine behavior differed; the food tray was not illuminated. |
