Direct Interaction theories of Hermstein and later Williams and Wixted see contrast as due to the direct effects of reinforcement in one component on responding in another component despite temporal separation in the multiple schedule. Competition theories of Staddon and later McLean and White view responding in a component as independent of reinforcement in the alternating components, but rather a result of competition among competing responses in the same component. Hence other behaviours and other reinforcers mediate the effect of reinforcement in one component on responding in the alternating component. A key area of contention between theories is when reinforcement in one component of a multiple schedule is made independent of respond...
