Abstract
Three pigeons responded in a two-key concurrent fixed-interval fixed-interval reinforcement schedule. The schedule had two parts: one fixed-interval 30-sec schedule and a Bernoulli trials generator that probabilistically assigned a reinforcement to the left or right key, independently of the preceding assignment. The relative frequency of responding on a key approximately equaled the probability of reinforcement on that key.
