The "Social Deprivation-Satiation Effect": An Outcome of Frequency of Perceived Contingency?

Perry, David G.; Garrow, Helen

Developmental Psychology, 11, 6, 681-688, Nov 75

The findings indicated that the perceived contingency of reinforcement is a more powerful determinant of its subsequent reinforcement effectiveness than is its frequency. (JMB)
