Responding under fixed-ratio schedules was studied as a function of two durations of food presentation. Latency of the first response after food presentation (post-reinforcement pause) was consistently shorter when food was presented for the longer duration. Only one of the four pigeons studied showed a consistently higher response rate, exclusive of post-reinforcement pause, as a function of the longer access to food. When ratio size was reduced, pause durations decreased, and the differences related to the two durations of food presentations became progressively smaller.
作为食物呈现时间的两个函数,研究了固定比例时间表下的反应。与较短的食物呈现时间相比,食物呈现时间较长时,第一反应(强化后停顿)的潜伏期更短。在这四只鸽子中,只有一只表现出了与较长的食物获取时间相关的、始终更高的反应率,而不包括强化后停顿。当比例大小减小时,停顿时间减少,与食物呈现的两个时间长度相关的差异也逐渐减小。
