Panel A shows “Peak” functions on 10s alone, 20s alone, and 10s–20s compound stimulus trials. Rats were never reinforced on compound trials, yet showed a single, robust peak of activity at the midpoint between the two criterion durations. Panel B shows the peak functions after being normalized by their respective peak times. The data show that responding for the compound was roughly scalar, as the functions largely superimpose.
