Bats of the species Phyllostomus hastatus were trained to press a pigeon key with food as the reinforcer. Patterns of responding under fixed-ratio, fixed-interval, and variable-interval schedules of reinforcement were similar to those typically shown by other species. In a simple auditory discrimination, responding readily came under stimulus control. It is suggested that the behavioral method could be applied to various problem areas of bat behavior.
以食果蝠（Phyllostomus hastatus）为研究对象，训练它们按压鸽子按键以获取食物作为强化物。在固定比率、固定间隔和可变间隔强化程序下的反应模式与其他物种通常表现出的模式相似。在简单的听觉辨别任务中，反应很容易受到刺激控制。研究表明，这种行为方法可应用于蝙蝠行为的各个问题领域。
