The purpose of the prese An Experimental Demonstration of the Transitive Conditioned Estabnt research is the laboratory demonstration of this form of motivation, that Michael referred to as a transitive conditioned establishing operation (CAn Experimental Demonstration of the Transitive Conditioned Estab

After preliminary training, three phases were introduced. In Phase 1, the CEO condition, a buzzer came on and off on a variable-time basis with an average time of one minute. For two subjects when the buzzer was o An Experimental Demonstration of the Transitive Conditioned Estabn, responding on a variable ratio 6 on the treadle changed the treadle light from white to red for 5 s, and a key peck within 5 s resulted in food reiAn Experimental Demonstration of the Transitive Conditioned Estab

For the other two subjects the relation between food reinforcement and the presence/absencc of the buzzer was reversed. In Phase 2 the procedure was exactly the same except that the completion of the required response ratio on the treadle set up the food reinforcement for a key peck, but did An Experimental Demonstration of the Transitive Conditioned Estabnot produce the light change.

The other three subjects had probably developed a pattern of pressing the treadle several times, then pecking the key, and if reinforcement were not delivered, returning to the treadle for more presses, etc. When the treadle light change was omitted, this pattern would have been successful in An Experimental Demonstration of the Transitive Conditioned Estab producing food reinforcement.
