Contingencies of Reinforcement. Chapter 6: An Operant Analysis of Problem Solving. Quote 13

“When operant experiments with human subjects are simplified by instructing the subjects in the operation of the equipment . . . , the resulting behavior may resemble that which follows exposure to the contingencies and may be studied in its stead for certain purposes, but the controlling variables are different, and the behaviors will not necessarily change in the same way in response to other variables — for example, under the influence of a drug.” (pp. 150-151)
