| Abstract: | An experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of magnitude of reward and consummatory time on the choice behaviour of human subjects. Analysis of the data revealed: (1) choice behaviour was a function of both magnitude of reward and consummatory time; (2) the effects of these two variables differed depending upon the period of training under consideration; (3) short consummatory times resulted in highly variable behaviour. The results were discussed in relation to theories derived from experiments using infrahuman subjects. |
