Hypothetical growth of conditioned reinforcement associated with the 10-pellet, and 3-pellet stimuli, and conditioned inhibition associated with 0-pellet stimulus. Note that the response strength associated with the 3-pellet stimulus is hypothesized to grow faster than the response strength associated with the 10-pellet stimulus because it occurs five times as often (on forced trials) but it reaches a lower asymptote. Conditioned inhibition associated with the 0-pellet stimulus first rises and then falls as assessed in the present research.
