| description | The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effects of manipulating the reinforcement delay and the spatial distance between the manipulandum (lever) and the reinforcer (water) on the response maintenance by rats. Four groups were exposed to temporally defined programs, the first response within a 30 seconds cycle produced the reinforcer delivery. The Group 1 was exposed to conditions of increased spatial distance through three phases. Group 2 was exposed to conditions of decreased spatial distance through three phases. The reinforcer was delivered at the end of the cycle (delay). For Groups 3 and 4 the reinforcer was delivered after the first lever press. The results showed that the response rate was an inverse function of increasing the reinforcement delay and the spatial distance between the manipulandum and the light-liquid dispenser set. But, this effect was most pronounced when these variables were combined. |

Se evaluaron los efectos de manipular la demora de reforzamiento y la distancia espacial entre el manipulandum (palanca) y el reforzador (agua) sobre el mantenimiento del palanqueo en ratas. Cuatro grupos fueron expuestos a programas temporales en los que podían producir el reforzador si presionaban una palanca al menos una vez a lo largo de un ciclo de 30 segundos. Para el Grupo 1 la distancia espacial entre el manipulandum y el bebedero fue aumentando a través de tres fases, mientras que para el Grupo 2 esta distancia fue disminuyendo. Para ambos grupos el reforzador se entregó al final del ciclo. A los Grupos 3 y 4 el reforzador fue entregado de forma inmediata. Los resultados mostraron que la tasa de respuesta fue una función inversa de aumentar la demora de reforzamiento y la distancia espacial. Pero, este efecto fue más pronunciado al combinar estas variables.
