Pigeon A and B were both trained with an S of a 800 Hz tone. Pigeon A then had an S - of 700 Hz. Pigeon B was trained with an S - of 400 Hz. Which pigeon is likely to exhibit the most (if any) peak shift

    Both Pigeon A and B

    Explanation:

    Peak shift is a term that describes the conditions in which the peak of the generalization gradient moves away from the position of S + in the direction away from the S-. This implies that, peak shift can be determined if the S + and S - tigger the existing factors during different training in a graded manner.

    Thus, if both S + and - has mutual characteristics, then a major part of those characteristics will be triggered by both stimuli, thus, the stimulating experience of S + will override or revoke the experience or training of S-.

    Hence, since both pigeon A and B, had the S + 800Hz tone training initially, with elemental theories, it is determined that, both will produce most peak shift phenomenon.

    Note:

    S + is a stimulus showing availability of reinforcement

    S - is a stimulus showing lack of reinforcement.
