TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - Aggression induced by intermittent positive reinforcement JO - Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews A1 - Looney, T. A. A1 - Cohen, P. S. SP - 15 EP - 37 VL - 6 IS - 1 N2 - Mammalian and non-mammalian species engage in aggressive behavior toward animate and inanimate targets when exposed to intermittent access to a positive reinforcer. This behavior, called extinction- or schedule-induced aggression, typically includes a biting or striking topography that inflicts damage on a target. This paper critically reviews research and theoretical issues concerning such aggression and suggests directions for future investigation.
