Effects of Visual Reinforcer Brightness and Color on Operant Behavior in Siamese Fighting Fish

, and . Psychonomic Science, (1968)

Abstract

THE REINFORCING EFFECTIVENESS OF MODELS OF SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH FOR OPERANT RESPONDING OF OTHER SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH WAS FOUND TO VARY AS A FUNCTION OF THE COLORATION OF THE MODEL BUT NOT ITS BRIGHTNESS. MODELS COLORED UNLIKE THE S WERE EFFECTIVE REINFORCERS WHEREAS MODELS COLORED SIMILAR TO THE S'S COLORATION WERE RELATIVELY INEFFECTIVE, CONFIRMING AN EARLIER FINDING. THE POSSIBLE INTERACTION BETWEEN COLOR AND BRIGHTNESS REMAINS UNRESOLVED. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
