Abstract
In shaping the long inter-response time (IRT), the effect of combining a fixed consecutive number (FCN) procedure with a discrete-trial percentile schedule was examined. In each trial, pigeons were required to peck at least once at the IRT start key and then at the IRT end key. Reinforcers were presented according to the percentile schedule based on the time interval between two pecks (IRT) or the cumulative number of pecks to the IRT start key before pecking the IRT end key. Successful shaping was observed when the FCN procedure was combined with a percentile schedule. The procedure developed in this study provides an ideal baseline performance for studying response shaping with IRTs.
期刊介绍：
Learning and Motivation features original experimental research devoted to the analysis of basic phenomena and mechanisms of learning, memory, and motivation. These studies, involving either animal or human subjects, examine behavioral, biological, and evolutionary influences on the learning and motivation processes, and often report on an integrated series of experiments that advance knowledge in this field. Theoretical papers and shorter reports are also considered.
