Doesn't the magnitude of reinforcement effect behavior?
In my rat running days I could swear that there was rapid behavior
change when pellet size was increased.
Yes, but you may not have remembered from your rat-running days that
a reinforcer (its magnitude and other properties) can only affect
behavior after it has occurred at least once. Was Paris previously
jailed, and at that time, the behavior leading to jail reinforced?
