Table 2. Fits to the Davison and Jenkins (1985) model for concurrent-schedule performance. For each condition, responses following Food Deliveries 7, 8, and 9 in each component across all pigeons was combined and fitted by optimization to Equation 2 in logarithmic terms. Optimal values of response–food discriminability (dr) and bias caused by the delays (log c) are shown with the proportion of data variance accounted for (VAC).
