Paul: I appreciate your meticulous analysis re bar press and maze running.However I have a question.It is my understanding that in a behavior chain it is the behavior that immediately precedes the delivery of the reinforcer that is reinforced,for example if a behavior change consists of A,B,C,D,E then it is E that is reinforced,right? The other behaviors could be anticipatory or as Hull would put it "fractional anticipatory antedating responses "but I do not tat this schema fits in within the Skinnerian paradigm.After all Skinner is strictly S-R psychology and not S-O-R.Where are the reinforcers for behaviors A,B,C,and D?
