[edit]

As a graduate student at UC Santa Barbara when Premack was there (Sara was in a cage down the hall), I would like to suggest two changes. It is regularly refered to as The Premack Principle not Premack's principle. The Principle is as follows (memorization of which was a requirement of first year students :-): "When a high rate behavior is made contingent on a low rate behavior, the low rate behavior will increase in rate." While I was there (1970), several students were working on the reverse principle: " when a low rate behavior is made contingent on a high rate behavior, the the high rate behavior will decrease in rate." That principle never made it, as far as I know, to mainstream behavioral consciousness.
