This study analyzed response sequences in rats and pigeons, finding consistent patterns in their order of emission. These behavioral patterns follow higher-order principles, offering insights into animal behavior and sequential analysis methods.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Animal Behavior
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Investigating concurrently reinforced free-operant two-response sequences.
  • Utilizing demarcated sequences (e.g., LL, LR) for temporally ordered behavior analysis.
  • Employing a real-life analogue for behavioral research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the order of emission in two-response sequences.
  • To reveal patterns in overall and post-reinforcer-only sequence emission.
  • To relate findings to existing molar and molecular behavior principles.

Main Methods:

  • Sequential analysis of rat and pigeon data.
  • Examining demarcated two-response sequences.
  • Investigating overall and post-reinforcer-only sequence emission.

Main Results:

  • Identified consistent patterns in sequence emission order across species and individuals.
  • Observed patterns following higher-order organizing principles.
  • Described sequence non-repetition, last-response repetition, and proportion/post-reinforcer effects.

Conclusions:

  • Behavioral patterns in sequence emission are consistent and follow organizing principles.
  • Sequential analysis is valuable for investigating molar-molecular behavioral relations.
  • Findings contribute to understanding animal behavior and reinforcement principles.
