THE MOLARITY OF MOLECULAR THEORY AND THE MOLECULARITY OF MOLAR THEORY

THE MOLARITY OF MOLECULAR THEORY AND THE MOLECULARITY OF MOLAR THEORY

Dinsmoor (2001) rejects shock‐frequency reduction as a reinforcer for avoidance behavior, and considers this to be an invalidation of so‐called molar avoidance theory. This is a narrow view of operant avoidance theory, for which shock‐frequency reduction is by no means the only reinforcer.
