Question 163

Essay

This experiment was designed to determine the effect of effort during learning or persistence (resistance to extinction). A learning theorist required rats to climb inclined planes for food reward and then extinguished them on the same inclined planes. Three groups of rats were used-one group on a 10° plane, one on a 20° plane, and one on a 30° plane. The data below are responses during extinction. Analyze them completely. What conclusion should the learning theorist reach?
