Abstract

Two groups of albino rats differing in degree of food deprivation time were trained on a fixed-interval reinforcement schedule in a Skinner box. Additional practice on this task revealed that drive affects the rate of responding without altering the distribution of responses in the interval between reinforcements and that response rate increases from the beginning to the end of the inter-reinforcement interval.
