Abstract
Two rhesus monkeys responded on a fixed-ratio schedule in Stimulus 1 (blue light) to avoid the onset of Stimulus 2 (green light). Failure to avoid Stimulus 2 required a second fixed-ratio performance to avoid Stimulus 3 (red light) in the presence of which unavoidable shock occurred. Relative frequencies of avoidance performance in the blue light and in the green light were inversely related to the ratio requirement under each stimulus condition. Both differential response-cost and avoidance-failure probability factors were related to the observed changes.

The 0.7-sec stimulus correlated with food delivery was an effective conditioned reinforcer in maintaining patterns of responding in fixed-interval components despite low average frequencies of food reinforcement.

Pigeons were intermittently reinforced with food for pecking at one key intermittently produced conditioned reinforcers (the set of stimuli that accompanied food reinforcement, but not the food).

Male albino rats were trained on an adjusting avoidance schedule in which each lever press accumulated a given amount of shock-free time and the behavior was quite similar to that produced by the combined stimuli, thus indicating that the auditory stimuli exercised the greater control.

Changes in response rates in the early components were directly related to changes in reinforcement frequency in the terminal components produced by the two methods of presenting the exteroceptive stimuli.

Three rats were trained on a schedule in which every sixth response produced a timeout of 5 sec minimum duration, and food was delivered at the onset of timeout, and successful interresponse times were measured under these conditions, and also when behavior was maintained by second-order fixed-ratio and fixed-interval schedules.
