Abstract
Two pigeons were trained on a concurrent chain schedule. In the second links of the chains food was delivered on two fixed-interval schedules. For each chain the fixed intervals always summed to 60 sec, and the experimental conditions consisted of varying the fixed intervals on one key within this restriction. The results suggest that relative choice is determined by the duration of the first fixed intervals in the second links rather than by the reinforcement rates in the second links.
