Abstract

A procedure that rewarded mice in a two lever Skinner box for behavioural sequences only above a certain length induced a kind of counting performance in which the organisms came to discriminate a fixed number of their own responses. The distributions of sequences were similar to those reported elsewhere for chimpanzees, rats, and humans. In two of the three mice the counting behaviour remained intact even when correct counts were reinforced only periodically.
