Three pigeons were trained on a chained fixed interval-fixed ratio schedule. Avoidance behavior which postponed a return to the first chain component from the second component was maintained on a second response key concurrently with the second component. When the fixed interval length was increased, avoidance rates first increased and then decreased as a function of fixed interval length. As the fixed ratio requirement was increased for one subject, avoidance rates first declined and then increased at larger fixed ratio values. Avoidance behavior maintained by postponing the first chain component was similar to avoidance behavior maintained by postponing a time out period.
三只鸽子接受了链式固定间隔-固定比率程序的训练。在第二个反应键上,与第二个组成部分同时维持着一种避免行为,这种行为推迟了从第二个组成部分返回第一个链式组成部分。当固定间隔长度增加时,避免率首先随着固定间隔长度的增加而增加,然后下降。对于一个实验对象,随着固定比率要求的增加,避免率首先下降,然后在更大的固定比率值时增加。通过推迟第一个链式组成部分来维持的避免行为类似于通过推迟暂停期来维持的避免行为。
