Functional properties of supplementary feedback stimuli.
Performance on a psychomotor learning task was facilitated by supplementary feedback stimuli which had been endowed with special significance by a preliminary sensitization procedure, but it was un-affected by these stimuli in the absence of such experience. The persistence of the facilitative effect well beyond the termination of feedback supports the inference that the sensitization experience invested the stimuli with reinforcing properties.
