Summary:Both theroretical work and research results have been somewhat equivocal on the subject of recency in the two‐choice probability learning task. The present paper describes a computer controlled experiment designed to investigate the consequences of reinforcement of negative recency on its occurrence. Results are examined in terms of both the methodology of computer controlled experimentation and the substance of Estes' pattern model of such learning.
