研究了Breland和Breland（1961）描述的不良行为现象。老鼠被训练获得滚珠轴承，并将它们放入一个洞里作为食物或水的补充。为了证实Brelands的观察结果，许多受试者在传递球时很慢，并且经常试图在球掉下来之前咀嚼它们。一系列的4个实验，其中使用相同的大鼠在整个过程中，表明交付时间往往是更长的食物比水，这些时间增加时，尼龙球取代。动机水平的影响进行了研究，通过不同的剥夺和量的预喂养。没有影响交货时间被检测到，虽然其他措施的性能受到动机因素的影响。在最后一个实验中，使用了一组新的幼稚受试者，得到了类似的结果。不当行为可以在实验的情况下进行研究，其结果支持了刺激-反应之间的竞争的分析。为什么这些影响在以前的代币研究中没有报道，这个问题还没有答案。
The phenomenon of misbehavior described by Breland and Breland (1961) was investigated. Rats were trained to obtain ball-bearings and drop them in a hole for food or water reinforcers. In confirmation of the Brelands'' observation, many subjects were slow to deliver the balls, and frequently attempted to chew them before they were dropped. A series of 4 experiments, in which the same rats were used throughout, showed that delivery times tended to be longer with food than with water, and that these times increased when nylon balls were substituted. The effect of motivational level was investigated by varying both deprivation and amount of prefeeding. No effect on delivery time was detected, although other measures of performance were affected by motivational factors. Similar results were obtained in a final experiment that employed a new set of naive subjects. Misbehavior can be studied in an experimental situation, and the results supported an analysis in terms of competition between stimulus-reinforcer and response-reinforcer contingencies. The question of why such effects were not reported in previous token reinforcer studies was unanswered.
