Fixed Ratio Schedule: FR15

Today's goal was for Tortellini to press the bar 15 times in order to receive a reward. This training session was pretty much like the FR12 session. 3 more bar presses did not seem to make a difference in Tortellini's behavior or performance. She continues to show frustration through biting the lever and moving quickly around the lever as if she was trying to figure out what was wrong with it. This session lasted 18.46 minutes, which is longer than most of her sessions. Tortellini pressed the bar a total of 1046 times. I was expecting this number to be higher than her FR12 results. Maybe she becomes physically tired by having to press the lever so many times. It will be interesting to see whether she continues the pattern of growth or declination during FR20.
