    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral science and animal cognition.

    Background:

    • Concurrent chain schedules are used to study choice behavior in animals.
    • Understanding how animals allocate responses is crucial for behavioral economics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate response allocation in pigeons under three-key concurrent chain schedules.
    • To compare findings with previous studies on two-key concurrent chains.

    Main Methods:

    • Pigeons were trained on concurrent chains with variable-interval initial links and fixed-interval terminal links.
    • Experiments manipulated terminal-link schedules and initial-link schedules across keys.

    Main Results:

    • Relative response rates in initial links did not align with reinforcement rates in terminal links.
    • Behavioral patterns in three-key chains showed similarities but also differences compared to two-key chains.

    Conclusions:

    • Response allocation in pigeons is complex and not solely determined by reinforcement rates.
    • Three-key concurrent chains exhibit unique properties compared to simpler two-key setups.
