SOME SEQUENTIAL ASPECTS OF IRTs EMITTED DURING SIDMAN‐AVOIDANCE BEHAVIOR IN THE WHITE RAT 1, 2

Abstract

This study investigated some of the serial patterns among interresponse times during Sidman avoidance. It was found that the momentary probability of a response was determined by the length of exposure to the avoidance procedure during a session, by the time since the last shock, and by the duration of the preceding IRT.
