The dynamics of wild and alternative meat consumption across Gabon, Central Africa

The extinction of lever-pressing responses (L) of a rat in a Skinner-box (A) which lead him so longer to food (G) may be viewed as due to the changed direction of a force fA, G, i.e., from dA, G, = dA, L to dA, G ≠ dA, L. If, then, we provide some region X as a subgoal to reach food, the force fA, G will change its direction from dA, L to dA ...
