The effectiveness of doses of i.v. cocaine and nomifensine in maintaining lever-press responding in rhesus monkeys was evaluated under 2 schedules, fixed- and progressive-ratio (FR, PR). The doses that maintained maximum rates of responding under the fixed-ratio schedule were 0.32 mg/kg per injection cocaine and 0.10 mg/kg per injection nomifensine. The fixed-ratio rates maintained by this dose of nomifensine were slightly lower than those maintained by cocaine. Under the progressive-ratio schedule, the maximum response rates developed with 0.32 mg/kg per injection cocaine and 0.32 mg/kg per injection nomifensine. Maximum performances under the progressive ratio were slightly higher with cocaine than with nomifensine. Progressive-ratio schedules may yield information on the relative reinforcing effects of drugs that differs only slightly from that obtained with fixed-ratio schedules.
