The effects of presenting a brief visual stimulus followed by response-independent delivery of food to rats were studied in 4 experiments. Both sign tracking, operation of a response key (experiment 1) or a lever (experiments 2, 3 and 4), and goal tracking, operation of a food tray flap, were obtained. Lower rates of both types of response occurred when the visual stimulus was unrelated to food delivery. Possible influences of similarity between the visual stimulus and events accompanying food delivery were investigated by varying the visual stimulus and tray light conditions. Such an influence was detected only in a control condition when the stimulus was uncorrelated with food delivery. Various omission contingencies produced marked reductions in the target behavior.
