For each rat, the sequence of symmetrical (SY), necessary (N), sufficient (SU) and unsymmetrical (U) conditions, the values of the RI schedules in each condition and the number of session in each condition are shown. Also shown are the sums over the last five sessions of each condition of the left and right stay responses, the reinforcers obtained from the stay and switch schedule associated with each alternative, the time at each alternative and the changeovers from each alternative.
