Abstract
The problems which this experiment attempts to solve
stem from the work of David Premack, and from the principle
of positive reinforcement which bears his name. This principle
comprises a qualitative and a quantitative statement:
1) If response A is more probable than response B, then A will
reinforce B.
2) If responses A and B both reinforce response C, and if the
probability of A is greater than that of B, then A will reinforce
C more than B will.
