One of the variables that has influence on the effects of punishing contingencies is reinforcement history. Studies with electric shock demonstrated that continuous reinforcement schedules produce less resistance to punishment than intermittent reinforcement schedules. The aim of this study was to verify the effect of an alternative punisher - hot blast air (HBA) - presented continuously and contingent to responses with different reinforcement histories. Six rats were exposed to different histories of reinforcement during eight sessions (continuous reinforcement, variable ratio and variable interval). Then, the animals went through six sessions in which each bar pressing produced an HBA and a drop of water. In the last phase, the animal wen...
