    Journal of Comparative Psychology, 21, 105-128. White rats were placed in problem boxes from which they were to escape. After some simple biological response such as scratching, crouching, and the like, the animal was allowed to escape and was rewarded with food. In all instances learning appeared. Certain implications for experiments on the effect of delayed rewards are indicated.

    Punishment was found to acquire discriminative properties in the same way that neutral stimuli acquire such properties. The behavioral control exerted by these discriminative properties of punishment served to override the control exerted by the aversive properties.

    Abstract
    Effects of passive environmental conditions (quiet, radio, and television) and manipulable objects (no toys, toys, toys plus staff interaction) on stereotypic behavior were evaluated. Four institutionalized, mentally retarded residents with high rates of stereotypic behavior were observed in a multipurpose room of their cottage.
