Do adjusting-amount and adjusting-delay procedures produce equivalent estimates of subjective value in pigeons?

abstract：:What is treated as a single unit of reinforcement often involves what could be called a reinforcement period during which two or more acts of ingestion may occur, and each of these may have associated with it a series of responses, some reflexive, some learned, that lead up to ingestion. Food-tray presentation to a pi...
