Abstract
Response variability was examined under five random interval schedules with minimum mean interreinforcement intervals of 15, 30, 60, 120, and 240 sec. Distributions of response force-time integrals showed no systematic variability changes with increases in reinforcement intermittency. Corresponding distributions of interresponse times revealed increases in variability accompanying increases in reinforcement intermittency. The relationship of variability to these two measures, and the potential effect of behavior outside the experimentally measured response class, on recorded variability within the class, are considered.
