Some effects of fixed-ratio size and reinforcement frequency on the accuracy of a conditional discrimination performance

Abstract

The e[[ects o[ two values o[ fixed~atio size, FR 1 and FR 5, and two [requencies o[ rein[orcement, one pellet and [ive pellets, on the accuracy o[ a conditional discrimination were studied in the baboon. In general, no di[[erences in accuracy were observed when either FR 1, one pellet or FR 5, [ive pellets were used. High levels o[ accuracy were produced by the FR 5, one pellet rein[orcement contingency.
