In pigeons under fixed-interval schedules of reinforcement, responding during most of the interval can be suppressed by stimulus conditions never present when a response is promptly followed by reinforcing stimuli. When the external stimuli obtaining immediately before reinforcement are presented during brief probe periods in the course of the interval, the rate of responding in the probe depends on the temporal position of the probe during the interval; the rate of responding is lower during a probe early in the interval than during one late in the interval. The present experiments show that the temporal dependency still holds (1) in birds with no experience under unmodified fixed-interval schedules, (2) when the time between probes is spent in complete darkness, and (3) when food presentations are omitted at the end of 50% of intervals. The results strengthen and extend the conclusion from previous studies that the time relations themselves are the primary control of rate of responding under fixed-interval schedules of reinforcement.
