Question: You are a research assistant in my lab, and I've asked you to design an experiment to measure choice behavior. Assume we have a rat lab with standard Skinner boxes.

How will Lisa, who works at the factory, likely divide her time between Line A and Line B? What type of schedules does this scenario represent?

You have set up a choice paradigm with 75% of available reinforcement on the left key and 25% of available reinforcement on the right key. The rat makes a total of 6000 responses. If the rat is engaging in strict matching, how many of those 6000 responses would be allocated to the right key
