Abstract: The current study compared the development of response patterns for operant wheel-running and lever-pressing on fixed-interval schedules. Eleven female Long-Evans rats were exposed to fixed-interval (FI) 15-s, 30-s, and 60-s schedules with wheel revolutions as… read more here.

Abstract: In multiple fixed interval schedules of reinforcement, different time intervals are signaled by different environmental stimuli which acquire control over behavior. Previous work has shown that temporal performance is controlled not only by external stimuli… read more here.
