一种仪器被开发出来研究大鼠的社会强化。训练四只Long-Evans雌性大鼠通过塑形按压杠杆，其中使所述挤压器接近去势的雄性大鼠。还观察到在固定比例时间表下的反应和消退。社会准入被认为是一个有效的促进因素。当社会强化与食物强化在类似的条件下的剥夺和饥饿持续时间进行比较，没有观察到显着差异。
An apparatus was developed to study social reinforcement in the rat. Four Long-Evans female rats were trained to press a lever via shaping, with the reinforcer being access to a castrated male rat. Responding under a fixed-ratio schedule and in extinction was also observed. Social access was found to be an effective reinforcer. When social reinforcement was compared with food reinforcement under similar conditions of deprivation and reinforcer duration, no significant differences were observed.
