Abstract
Five White-Necked ravens were run to behavioral stability on each of three moderate schedules of positive reinforcement: FR 50, FI 4 min, and RI 2.5 min. The sequence of schedule exposure for any one raven was different from that for any other raven. Temporal variations in rates emitted by the raven under these schedules were characteristic of those emitted by other species more typically used in operant conditioning studies.

I am indebted to Professor Lighthill for some further illuminating remarks regarding this point and his comments on Heisenberg's Theory of Isotropic Turbulence are highly illuminating.

A method for generating a reinforcement schedule that closely approximates idealized VI schedules in which reinforcement assignments occur randomly in time (RI schedules) is described and response rates of pigeons exposed for 20 sessions appeared very similar to response rates characteristic of arithmetic series VIs.

Four male pigmented rats were exposed to a procedure designed to investigate the relation between several performance measures and a schedule continuum ranging from FR 36 to FI 2 through four intermediate interlocking schedules, showing a continuum of performance related to the schedule continuum.
