Concurrent drinking by pigeons on fixed-interval reinforcement schedules.
Three experienced pigeons were exposed to at least ten consecutive 100-min sessions on each of three food-reinforced fixed-interval (FI) schedules: FI 50-sec, FI 100-sec and FI 200-sec. Water was freely available. Drinking was largely confined to the first third of each fixed interval, and the mean sessional water intake was directly related to the food-reinforcement rate for each animal. The a...
متن کاملPrenatal methylmercury exposure increases responding under clocked and unclocked fixed interval schedules of reinforcement.
Recent experiments have suggested that developmental methylmercury exposure produces perseverative behavior in adulthood. In the present experiment, interactions between developmental low-level methylmercury (MeHg) and nutritionally relevant dietary selenium (Se) on operant behavior and its persistence were examined in aged animals. Female rats were exposed, in utero, to 0, 0.5, or 5 ppm mercur...
متن کامل"The stone which the builders rejected...": Delay of reinforcement and response rate on fixed-interval and related schedules.
The article deals with response rates (mainly running and peak or terminal rates) on simple and on some mixed-FI schedules and explores the idea that these rates are determined by the average delay of reinforcement for responses occurring during the response periods that the schedules generate. The effects of reinforcement delay are assumed to be mediated by a hyperbolic delay of reinforcement ...
متن کاملThe effects of variable-interval and fixed-interval signal presentation schedules on the auditory evoked response.
Averaged auditory evoked responses to 1000-Hz 20-msec tone bursts were obtained from normal-hearing adults under two different intersignal interval schedules: (1) a fixed-interval schedule with 2-sec intersignal intervals, and (2) a variable-interval schedule of intersignal intervals ranging randomly from 1.0 sec to 4.5 sec with a mean of 2 see. Peak-to-peak amplitudes (N1P~) as well as latenci...
متن کاملMultiple-interval timing in rats: Performance on two-valued mixed fixed-interval schedules.
Three experiments studied timing in rats on 2-valued mixed-fixed-interval schedules, with equally probable components, Fixed-Interval S and Fixed-Interval L (FI S and FI L, respectively). When the L:S ratio was greater than 4, 2 distinct response peaks appeared close to FI S and FI L, and data could be well fitted by the sum of 2 Gaussian curves. When the L:S ratio was less than 4, only 1 respo...
