Abstract
Squirrel monkeys maintained concurrent performances appropriate to a fixed-ratio schedule of food reinforcement on one lever and an avoidance schedule on a second lever. The overall rate of responding maintained by either schedule was not systematically affected when the other schedule was discontinued and its lever removed.
