Abstract
Previous research has shown that prior training involving explicitly unpaired key light and food presentations later interferes with autoshaping the pigeon's keypeck. The present 3 experiments with a total of 34 naive pigeons identified 2 separable characteristics of this interference: delayed initiation of keypecking and reduction in the postacquisition level of keypecking. The 1st characteristic was specific to the pretraining stimulus but the 2nd was not. Findings are discussed in terms of conditioned inhibition and learned laziness. (23 ref)
