Similar effects were not observed when tokens exchangeable for the same food were delivered, suggesting that engagement was disrupted by the contingent provision of the food, which may have functioned as a discriminative stimulus that occasioned competing responses.6 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
