In a transfer-of-control experiment with rats, Pavlovian CS [conditioned stimulus] were tested for the specificity of their effects. The instrumental behavior consisted of a discriminative, conditional 2 lever choice task in which qualitatively different appetitive reinforcers were contingent upon the 2 correct choices. In a Pavlovian phase, subjects experienced conditioning to establish either a CS+ or CS- for 1 reinforcer or a CS+ or CS- for the other reinforcer. Finally, in a test, these CS were presented when there was the opportunity to make choice responses. The CS+ evoked choices of the lever which had eventuated in the reinforcer that had served as the Pavlovian US [unconditioned stimulus], while the CS- showed only a slight tendency to evoke the other choice responses. When the CS were compounded with the original SD [discriminative stimulus], the CS+ had little effect upon the vigor of responding while the CS- reduced the vigor of responding to the SD for the reinforcer that was the same as the US used in establishing the CS-. The results are discussed in terms of associative mediational theory and the reinforcer specificity of Pavlovian conditioned excitation and inhibition.
