Three rats were trained on a schedule in which every sixth response produced a timeout of 5 sec minimum duration, and food was delivered at the onset of timeout. Successive interresponse times were measured under these conditions, and also when behavior was maintained by second-order fixed-ratio and fixed-interval schedules. Under the second-order schedules, each six-response fixed-ratio component was followed by a timeout, and occasionally food was delivered at the onset of a timeout. In the fixed-ratio schedule, the successive interresponse times showed a decrease followed by an increase before food delivery, but this systematic variation in interresponse times was not found when the performance was under second-order reinforcement. Under both second-order schedules the latencies of successive components, and the successive interresponse times within each component, showed a decrease as food delivery was approached.
