Abstract

Presentations of grain to three pigeons were determined by two response-independent schedules. Interpresentation intervals varied with a mean interval of 1.5 min for each schedule. Both were concurrently operative, but grain was presented by one only when the chamber was illuminated with blue light and by the other only during amber illumination. A response on a white key, the only key in the chamber, alternated the stimulus conditions and the effective schedule. Grain presentation durations associated with the illumination conditions were varied from 1.5 to 4.5 sec. The proportion of the total session time spent in an illumination condition closely approximated the relative grain presentation duration provided in that illumination. For two of the birds, the proportion of the total number of grain presentations obtained in an illumination condition was an increasng function of the presentation duration in that illumination.

  • Regarding high sensitivity to magnitude, published data are varied, with observations of near-strict matching as well as undermatching.

    “Regarding the high sensitivity to magnitude, the published data are varied, with observations of near-strict matching (Brownstein, 1971; Keller & Gollub, 1977; Neuringer, 1967) as well as undermatching (Schneider, 1973; Todorov, 1973) being reported.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
