PERFORMANCE OF TWO SPECIES OF QUAIL ON BASIC REINFORCEMENT SCHEDULES

PERFORMANCE OF TWO SPECIES OF QUAIL ON BASIC REINFORCEMENT SCHEDULES

Two bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) and two Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were trained to peck a response key to obtain food. In general, performance on fixed ratio 20 and variable- and fixed-interval 60-sec schedules was comparable to the response patterns of other species under...

Zusammenfassung:Two bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) and two Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were trained to peck a response key to obtain food. In general, performance on fixed ratio 20 and variable- and fixed-interval 60-sec schedules was comparable to the response patterns of other species under these schedules.
