Contingencies of Reinforcement. Chapter 7: The Phylogeny and Ontogeny of Behavior. Quote 8

“In the experimental analysis of behavior many species differences are minimized . . . species differences in sensory equipment, in effector systems, in susceptibility to reinforcement, and in possibly disruptive repertoires . . . The data then show an extraordinary uniformity over a wide range of species. For example, the processes of extinction, discrimination, and generalization, and the performances generated by various schedules of reinforcement are reassuringly similar.” (p. 190)
