A statistical design and model is presented for estimating the after‐effects of the treatment given at trial n on trial n + 1, when there are two kinds of treatment in a series. The specific application of the model is to an evaluation of the effects of stimulation produced by reward and non‐reward in a partial reinforcement situation. A rationale for the model is provided; the derivation of the estimates and the analysis of variance is described; and the model is applied to the analysis of some data which form part of a study published elsewhere. The results of the analysis indicate that reward and non‐reward affect immediately following performance differentially at 20 sec. intertrial intervals but not at 12 min. intertrial intervals.
