摘要

生物体有时表现得好像行为和结果之间存在着偶然性,即使事实并非如此。Killeen(1978)认为,这种迷信的发生是由于偏见导致行为“迷信”的因素,而不是由于歧视的失败。我们系统地重复了Killeen的实验,并比较了不同结果之间的权变歧视。六只鸽子在一个与样本匹配的过程中做出反应,在这个过程中,反应独立或反应依赖的刺激变化、食物传递或停电发生了。鸽子通过选择两个侧键来报告结果是依赖于反应还是独立于反应。在刺激改变后,歧视最强烈,在停电后较弱,在送餐后最弱。这些差异甚至在额外的训练后仍然存在,这表明不对称可能反映了不同结果对记忆和/或行为助记的破坏性影响的差异。重要的是,鸽子不会偏向于报告依赖于反应的结果,除非该反应与位置偏见一致;也就是说,当有理由有偏见时,他们会表现得“迷信”。这些发现证实了Killeen的发现,并证明行为可能偏离偶然性,并不一定是因为受试者无法区分这些偶然性,而是因为他们倾向于做出其他行为。

Is superstitious responding a matter of detectability? A replication of Killeen (1978)

Is superstitious responding a matter of detectability? A replication of Killeen (1978)

Organisms may sometimes behave as if a contingency exists between behavior and consequences, even if this is not actually the case. Killeen (1978) suggested that such superstition occurs because of factors that bias subjects to behave “superstitiously” rather than because of failures of discrimination. We systematically replicated Killeen's experiment and compared contingency discrimination between different consequences. Six pigeons responded in a matching-to-sample procedure in which a response-independent or response-dependent stimulus change, food delivery, or blackout occurred. The pigeons reported whether the consequence was response dependent or response independent by choosing between two side keys. Discrimination was strongest after stimulus changes, weaker after blackouts, and weakest after food deliveries. These differences persisted even after additional training, suggesting asymmetries that may reflect differences in the disruptive effects of different consequences on remembering and/or behavioral mnemonics. Importantly, the pigeons were not biased to report response-dependent consequences unless that response was consistent with locational biases; that is, they behaved “superstitiously” when there was a reason to be biased to do so. These findings corroborate Killeen's and demonstrate that behavior may deviate from contingencies not necessarily because subjects cannot discriminate those contingencies but because they are biased to behave otherwise.
