Note. Target = left or right side key (counterbalanced), Alternative = opposite side key. C1, C2, and C3 = Multiple-schedule component 1 (no treatment), 2 (DRA), and 3 (NCR), respectively. RT represents 3-s food presentations with a steady hopper light, rT represents 1-s food presentations with a flashing hopper light and key light. VI 120 and VI 30 = variable-interval 120-s and 30-s schedules, respectively. VT 30 = variable-time 30-s schedule. Ext = extinction for pecks to a lit key. RI = response-independent food at 2 and 8 s into each component. Condition 3 replicated Condition 1.
