Abstract：
:Experiment I used non-naive pigeons having previously performed on both keypecking and treadlepressing Fixed Interval schedules. In condition IT, treadlepressing was reinforced on successive Fixed Interval 60 seconds, Fixed Time 60 seconds and Fixed Interval 60 seconds schedules. Subsequently (condition IK), the same subjects pecked a key on an identical schedule sequence (FI60, FT60, FI60). In Experiment II, separate groups of naïve subjects were assigned either to treadlepressing (condition IIT) or keypecking (condition IIK) and to the same schedule sequence (FI60, FT60, FI60). Treadle pressing and keypecking decreased greatly in Fixed Time schedules. Curvature indices, pauses and running rates were less sensitive than response rates to the switching from one schedule to the other. Experiments I and II yielded similar results, experimental history accounting only for minor differences. The results were discussed in relation to interspecies differences in the temporal regulation of behavior and operant versus respondent control of the response and schedule-induced behaviour.
