The effects on rate of response and on a measure of the sequential properties of the response array of two reinforcement schedules, specified in terms of two response classes, lever pressing and tray responding, were investigated. Observations were made under conditioning and extinction. Under both conditions animals (rats) trained by the counting procedure responded at a consistently higher rate but received fewer reinforcements. The results are discussed with reference to two maze‐running procedures and to double alternation studies
