Between late 1931 and early 1935, Pavlov used a partial-reinforcement procedure pairing the conditioned stimulus with food reinforcement on only each fourth presentation. Two dogs learned the differentiation between the first three presentations and the fourth, responding only on the latter; two dogs incompletely learned it; one dog did not. The more successful dogs also had greater mobility, by which Pavlov meant the ability to shift back and forth from excitation to inhibition. As a result of this and related work, Pavlov concluded that mobility, like strength and balance, is an independent primary property of the nervous system and a principal determiner of nervous type.
