Abstract
The performance of a rat provided with continuous opportunity to obtain reinforcing brain stimulation over a 20‐day period is described in detail. The animal averaged 29.2 responses per min during the entire time. Testing session was terminated by experimenters, but a day‐by‐day analysis of behavior provided no evidence that the animal would have stopped responding.Keywords
