Behavioral Contrast and Alternative Response Key Availability
… investigated the interaction of schedules of reinforcement on behavior, replicating and extending Keller's (1 974) research. Expanded methodology included two control manipulations designed to clarify Keller's previously ambiguous findings. The influence of stimulus properties and the location …

An Evaluation of the Effects of Fixed-Time Schedules on Response Maintenance
Response-independent schedules of reinforcement (e.g., fixed-time schedules) have typically been shown to decrease the rate of responding. However, researchers have suggested that responses may maintain under response-independent schedules, although it is currently unclear as to what mechanisms are …
