lüll The nature of sexual reinforcement Crawford LL; Holloway KS; Domjan MJ Exp Anal Behav 1993[Jul]; 60 (1): 55-66Sexual reinforcers are not part of a regulatory system involved in the maintenance of critical metabolic processes, they differ for males and females, they differ as a function of species and mating system, and they show ontogenetic and seasonal changes related to endocrine conditions. Exposure to a member of the opposite sex without copulation can be sufficient for sexual reinforcement. However, copulatory access is a stronger reinforcer, and copulatory opportunity can serve to enhance the reinforcing efficacy of stimulus features of a sexual partner. Conversely, under certain conditions, noncopulatory exposure serves to decrease reinforcer efficacy. Many common learning phenomena such as acquisition, extinction, discrimination learning, second-order conditioning, and latent inhibition have been demonstrated in sexual conditioning. These observations extend the generality of findings obtained with more conventional reinforcers, but the mechanisms of these effects and their gender and species specificity remain to be explored.|*Reinforcement, Psychology[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Conditioning, Operant[MESH]|Discrimination Learning[MESH]|Ejaculation[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Gonadal Steroid Hormones/metabolism/physiology[MESH]|Inhibition, Psychological[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Rats[MESH]|Sexual Behavior, Animal/*physiology[MESH] |
