Pigeons were trained under a schedule consisting of a number of fixed-ratio 100 components followed by a single fixed-ratio 10 component. The proportion of fixed-ratio 100 to fixed-ratio 10 components was varied according to several ascending and descending series within the range of 99:1 to 1:1. When this proportion was reduced to about 20:1 and below, the pause following each fixed-ratio 100 gradually decreased in length. Primes, a burst of responses at the start of the fixed-ratio 100 component, increased in frequency, and then decreased when the proportion became extremely low. Also, when the relative frequency of fixed-ratio 10 components was very high, primes were seldom observed in the first fixed-ratio 100 component following a fixed-ratio 10 component, but were distributed evenly throughout the remaining fixed-ratio 100 components.
鸽子在一种由多个固定比例 100 组成的时间表下进行训练,然后是一个单独的固定比例 10 组成。固定比例 100 与固定比例 10 组成的比例根据 99:1 至 1:1 范围内的几个升序和降序系列而变化。当这个比例降低到大约 20:1 及以下时,每个固定比例 100 之后的停顿逐渐缩短。在固定比例 100 组成部分开始时,爆发的响应——Prime,其频率增加,然后当比例变得极低时,频率降低。此外,当固定比例 10 组成的相对频率非常高时,在前一个固定比例 10 组成之后的第一个固定比例 100 组成中很少观察到 Prime,但在其余的固定比例 100 组成中均匀分布。
