Although it is well-established that schedule-induced drinking occurs on intermittent schedules of food reinforcement, the mechanism by which drinking arises is still a mystery. The proposed experiments will test four major hypotheses. First drinking is a conditioned response that is controlled by the same basic laws as other conditioned responses. Second, drinking arises in anticipation of upcoming food delivery rather than occurring as a reaction to the previous pellet. Third, competition occurs between drinking and the operant, which can result in the displacement of drinking to the early portion of the interpellent interval. Finally, drinking may be controlled by timing mechanisms in much the same way as operant responses. The experimental results will be interpreted with three major theories of timing to determine whether the temporal locus and duration of bouts of drinking may be theoretically modeled in the same manner as operant responses such as lever pressing. If necessary, modifications in the theories will be made to accommodate the results of the proposed experiments.

虽然已经确立了计划引起的饮酒 食物加固的间歇时间表，该机制 饮酒仍然是一个谜。 提出的实验将测试 四个主要假设。 首先喝的是条件反应 由与其他条件响应相同的基本定律控制。 第二， 饮酒是因为预期即将到来的食物而不是 作为对先前的颗粒的反应。 第三，竞争发生 在饮酒和操作者之间，这可能导致位移 饮酒到间隔间隔的早期。 最后， 饮酒可以通过定时机制以与 操作响应。 实验结果将用三个 定时的主要理论，用于确定时间范围和时间是否 理论上可能会以同一饮酒的持续时间进行饮酒的持续时间 作为操作响应的方式，例如杠杆按压。 如有必要， 将对理论进行修改以适应 提出的实验。
