[Abstract]In two experiments, hungry rats were given instrumental lever-press training for an appetitive reinforcer and, in addition, were exposed to another type of food which was not contingent on lever pressing. In the first experiment, exposure to each type of food was on separate days, whereas in the second experiment rats were exposed to each type of food in strict alternation within each session. Subsequently, a food aversion was conditioned to the reinforcer for the experimental group and to the non-contingent food for the control group. In both experiments, animals with an aversion to the reinforcer responded less in an extinction test than animals with an aversion to the non-contingent food. Subsequent reacquisition tests confirmed that the aversion to the non-contingent food in the control group was of comparable strength with that to the reinforcer in the experimental group. The results were discussed in terms of whether the reinforcer is encoded in the associative structure set up by exposure to an instrumental contingency.

B. F. Skinner has translated this 1928 paper concerning the formation of Type 2 conditioned reflexes. Konorski comments on his original theses in a postscript. See: Miller, S., & Konorski, J. (1969). On a particular form of conditioned reflex. Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 12(1), 187–189. https://doi.org/10.1901/jeab.1969.12-187.
The article starts with this note of Skinner:
[Translator's Note: This important paper appeared under the title "Sur une forme particulière des réflexes conditionnels" in Les comptes rendus des séances de la société de Biologie. Société polonaise de biologie. Volume XCIX, page 1155, June 1928. When my paper "Two types of conditioned reflex and a pseudo-type" was published in The Journal of General Psychology (1935, 12, 66-67), Konorski and Miller replied in a paper called "On two types of conditioned reflex", which appeared in the same journal (1937, 16, 264-272). They sent me a copy and I was therefore able to answer in the same issue. The paper was called "Two types of conditioned reflex: a reply to Konorski and Miller". (1937, 16, 272-279.)
The present translation was sent to Professor Konorski and some changes suggested by him have been made. The word particulière has a much richer meaning in French than in English. In addition to personal or private, it suggests something special or unusual. A key phrase appears in French as follows: The dog flexes its leg pour former ainsi le complexe conditionnel total.
Professor Konorski has supplied the Postscript, giving his present views.

[Abstract]Before deciding what status should be given to folk psychology within scientific psychology, we must understand its linguistic peculiarities. To do that, we need to attend to research on the topic within the philosophical tradition known as "conceptual analysis." This research enables us to identify six respects in which folk psychological language can lead us astray, when used in a scientific context:
(1) the creation of bogus abstract entities by the process of "nominalizing" predicates and other non-substantival parts of speech,
(2) the persistent use of adjectives with evaluative (good/bad) connotations,
(3) the systematic evaluation of the content of other people's cognitive attitudes and judgments from the standpoint of the speaker,
(4) the distortion of causal accounts of human action by the demand for a single scapegoat on whom to pin the blame when things go wrong,
(5) the use of the metaphor of linguistic control when explaining behavior that is not subject to that type of control,
(6) the unavoidable use of simile when describing private experience.
