“…Although Dews had observed this fact on only one occasion, it was worth mentioning because of its bearing on the relationship between the reinforcer and behavior. A similar effect was observed in a more dramatic way in cats undergoing a series of experiments on the modification of behavior by an excitant drug (Faidherbe, Schlag, & Richelle, 1961).…”

Cats were trained to respond on a multiple discriminative schedule, with milk as reinforcement. Two subjects did not immediately consume the reinforcer when they were injected with 6 mg of methylphenidate before the experiment. This observation could be repeated in one of the subjects under various conditions of reinforcement and various doses of the drug. Control experiments showed that under normal conditions the same cats never ignored the reinforcer. The modification induced by the drug in the relationship between behavior and the reinforcement is discussed in its bearing on the notion of reinforcer.

“…In a report of the first part of this experiment, individual differences in behavioral reactions to the drug were emphasized (Faidherbe, Schlag, & Richelle, 1961). The two cats considered here showed a highly stable behavior.…”

“…A complete review of all the psychopharmacological studies with which Richelle was involved is beyond the scope of this article and some of his early studies with cats produced data that were difficult to simply summarize or interpret, for example, different effects on different individual animals ( Faidherbe, Schlag, & Richelle, 1961 ), problems with motivation to consume the reinforcer ( Faidherbe, Richelle, & Schlag, 1962 ). However, many consistent and clear results were found, in particular with chlordiazepoxide.…”

“…These are a very unusual experimental species for operant research but common at the time in neurophysiological studies. Cats were used in some drug experiments (e.g., Faidherbe et al, 1961 ) but Richelle was also involved in some purely behavioural studies. One of these ( Richelle, 1965 ) describes the development of an “experimental neurosis” in cats.…”

This article discusses the contribution of Marc Richelle to the study of temporal regulation of behaviour in animals. Richelle was a pioneer of behavioural pharmacology in Europe in the 1960s, and some of his early pharmacological experiments, particular those involving chlordiazepoxide, are discussed. Richelle frequently tested drug effects on performance on fixed-interval (FI) and differential reinforcement of low rate (DRL) schedules. Much of his later work, conducted with Helga Lejeune, involved cross-species comparisons of performance on FI and DRL, and often focused on potential differences between "timing competence" and "timing performance". His work provided an unrivalled body of research on operant behaviour in different species, involving research on animals as different as cats and fish. Much of the work was reviewed in Richelle and Lejeune's 1980 book Time in Animal Behaviour, which contained particularly influential accounts of collateral behaviour and inter-species comparisons.
