Resumen

In an attempt to demonstrate possible maladaptive effects resulting from shaping, two Long Evans rats were trained to jump onto a platform, then to extend their noses downward over the edge to a point where, losing their balance, they fell. The results showed how behaviors such as reaching and rearing can be reinforced differentially to bring about completely maladaptive behavior.
