You Reduce Your Speed on the Interstate Highway When You

question 65

Essay

You reduce your speed on the interstate highway when you see a sign indicating radar ahead. One day you get a ticket in town for driving too slowly. Back on the interstate, you again see a sign that indicates that radar is in use ahead and you slow down-the very behavior that produced a ticket the last time it occurred. Explain this paradoxical behavior from what we know of avoidance learning.
