Of the components of Sniffy’s behavioral repertoire recorded in Exercise 28, which did NOT increase in relative frequency as a result of bar-press training?
a. Rearing up against the back wall
b. Sniffing at the hopper
c. Dismounting from the bar
d. Eating food pellets
a. Rearing up against the back wall
Answer feedback: The comparative results showed the bar-press training had the overall effect of increasing the relative frequencies of those behaviors related to bar pressing and its consequences and decreasing the relative frequencies of all other behaviors. Thus, the relative frequency of rearing against the back wall decreased, as Sniffy went from the bar to the hopper and back again, and no longer reared up against the back wall as he had during the shaping of the bar press.
