Falsification of matching theory: changes in the asymptote of Herrnstein's hyperbola as a function of water deprivation.

abstract：:Three experiments explored whether access to wheel running is sufficient as reinforcement to establish and maintain simple and conditional visual discriminations in nondeprived rats. In Experiment 1, 2 rats learned to press a lit key to produce access to running; responding was virtually absent when the key was dark, ...
