Responding maintained by the opportunity to attack during an interval food reinforcement schedule.
Pigeons responded in a two-key situation. Responses on the right key (food key) were reinforced with food presentation on a response-initiated fixed-interval schedule, (i.e., first response after a fixed period of time was reinforced); responses on the left key (target key) were reinforced on a fixed-ratio schedule (i.e., every nth response was reinforced) with the presentation of a target bird...
متن کاملVariable interval responding maintained by intravenous codeine and ethanol injections in the rhesus monkey.
Rhesus monkeys were trained to respond under a variable interval 2 min schedule for codeine or ethanol injections. Both codeine and ethanol were effective in the initiation of variable-interval responding; responding was maintained over a range of codeine (0.003-1.0 mg/kg/injection) and ethanol doses (32.0-560 mg/kg/injection). Maximum rates of responding were obtained at the 0.01 mg/kg/injecti...
متن کاملExtinction of responding maintained by timeout from avoidance.
The resistance to extinction of lever pressing maintained by timeout from avoidance was examined. Rats were trained under a concurrent schedule in which responses on one lever postponed shock on a free-operant avoidance (Sidman) schedule (response-shock interval = 30 s) and responses on another lever produced 2 min of signaled timeout from avoidance on a variable-ratio 15 schedule. Following ex...
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 کاملChanges in blood pressure and heart rate during fixed-interval responding in squirrel monkeys.
Episodic and sustained increases in heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure can occur with recurring patterns of schedule-controlled behavior. Most previous studies were conducted under fixed-ratio schedules, which maintained a consistent high rate of responding that alternated with periods of no responding during times when the schedule was not in operation. The present study examined chan...
