Abstract
A control for schedule-induced behavior that compares behavioral sequences that occur under continuous and interval food-reinforcement schedules shows that a change from a disorderly to an orderly sequence that occurs with schedule-induced drinking does not occur in the case of schedule-induced bar biting. The control permits study of schedule-regulated behavior whether or not it is excessive.
