Investigates the effect of delay of reinforcement upon human discrimination learning with particular emphasis on the form of the gradient within the first few seconds of delay. In previous studies subjects are usually required to make an instrumental response to a stimulus, this is followed by the delay interval, and finally, the reinforcement…

Peer reviewedCarmean, Stephen L.; Carmean, C. Jean – Child Development, 1971
Results of 5 experiments supported the hypothesis that many nonlearners in a multipair visual discrimination learning task were following position rather than object strategies and that it was possible to predict individual subjects' strategies from previous performances. (Authors)
