Concurrent fixed-ratio and avoidance responding in the squirrel monkey

Concurrent fixed-ratio and avoidance responding in the squirrel monkey

A C Catania et al. J Exp Anal Behav. 1966 May.

Abstract

Squirrel monkeys maintained concurrent performances appropriate to a fixed-ratio schedule of food reinforcement on one lever and an avoidance schedule on a second lever. The overall rate of responding maintained by either schedule was not systematically affected when the other schedule was discontinued and its lever removed.
