Abstract
A fixed ratio schedule for conditioned reinforcement was superimposed on differential reinforcement of low rate schedules. For one S, the conditioned reinforcement schedule had no effect on DRL performance, given efficient performance on the DRL schedule. However, response rates increased and came under the control of the FR schedule when DRL performance was inefficient.
