The post-reinforcement pause
Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior
|March 1, 1966
Abstract:
Measurements of the post-reinforcement pause and response rate were obtained from four birds on a range of fixed ratio schedules from 25 to 150. The results indicated a consistent increase in the length of the pause as the ratio was increased. Response rate tended to decrease, but these data were less consistent and some reversals were apparent.
