Performance of two species of quail on basic reinforcement schedules

F T Cloar et al. J Exp Anal Behav. 1968 Mar.

Abstract

Two bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) and two Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were trained to peck a response key to obtain food. In general, performance on fixed ratio 20 and variable- and fixed-interval 60-sec schedules was comparable to the response patterns of other species under these schedules.
