Newly hatched quails and adult controls of the species Coturnix coturnix japonica were trained to emit a treadle-pressing response reinforced with food on a Fixed Interval 60 seconds schedule, at a pace of 4 or 5 sessions a day. The young subjects were successfully shaped at the fourth day of life. Although response rates were equivalent in young and adults, Curvature Index values and post-reinforcement pause durations were higher for the adult subjects over a 10-day conditioning period. These differences in the temporal regulation of behavior are discussed in relationship with factors involved in developmental studies.
将刚孵化出的鹌鹑和日本鹌鹑成年对照组训练为，按照固定间隔60秒的时间表，以每天4或5节训练课的频率，通过踩踏板做出反应并获得食物强化。幼体在出生第四天成功塑形。尽管幼体和成年体的反应率相当，但在10天的条件反射期内，成年体的曲率指数值和强化后停顿持续时间更高。本文结合发育研究中的相关因素，讨论了行为时间调节方面的这些差异。
