Table 1.
Design table for all experiments. R1 and R2 are separate levers in the chamber. O1 and O2 are counterbalanced grain- or sucrose-based reinforcers. Cues are 2-s presentations of key lights, tones, or a compound of both. A + indicates that the cue coincides with reinforcer delivery and a / indicates that it does not. See text for additional details.
