In [[operant conditioning ]]'''delayed alternation''' refers to the alternation of [[rewards]], especially in [[maze learning]], where a delay is implemented between trials. This requires the subject to alternate their responses in order to gain the reward.

This banner appears on articles that are weak and whose contents should be approached with academic caution.

In operant conditioning delayed alternation refers to the alternation of rewards, especially in maze learning, where a delay is implemented between trials. This requires the subject to alternate their responses in order to gain the reward.
