Fixed Ratio Schedule: FR10

The goal of today's training session is for Tortellini to press the lever 10 times before getting a sugar pellet. So far this is the highest schedule I have put her on, so I was worried that she would struggle and become frustrated. However, she did a great job besides her short attention span. She may just be experiencing satiation from receiving so many reinforcements at the beginning. Her cumulative records for FR10 show when she began to slow down around 11 minutes. She lasted 15.07 minutes on this schedule before she quit pressing the bar completely. Tortellini pressed the bar 749 times on FR10. She is consistently exhibiting an increase in bar presses every time I move her up a level, which is right on track.
