A note on time out from avoidance with the chimpanzee1

PMCID: PMC1338124  PMID: 5853296

Abstract

Fixed-interval responding which produced time out from shock avoidance schedules was established in a chimpanzee. Two widely differing discriminated avoidance schedules were employed in a multiple schedule arrangement. Differences in fixed interval rate were found to be related both to the schedule from which the subject was escaping and to the amount of training.
