RATS' LEVER‐PRESS DURATIONS AS PSYCHOPHYSICAL JUDGMENTS OF TIME1
Abstract
Hungry rats received food following lever-press durations exceeding a minimum value, which ranged from 0 to 6.4 sec. When no intertrial intervals separated successive presses, modal press durations remained at very short values as the minimum value required for food was increased. This was particularly true immediately after a food presentation. When an 8-sec intertrial interval followed each lever release, modal press durations were always at …
