The performance of pigeons has been studied on schedules on which reinforcing stimuli were presented only when a response was followed by some specified "delay" period without a response. Even when this period was as long as 100 seconds, responding was maintained at rates above those resulting from presentation of the reinforcing stimuli at 100-second intervals noncontingent on responding. With waiting periods of 30 seconds and of 10 seconds between response and reinforcing stimuli, the over-all rate of responding was higher with the shorter waiting periods. The effects of pentobarbital and of methamphetamine were found differentially modified by change in the waiting period. The rate of responding tended to be higher on schedules similar in all respects except that responses during the "delay" period did not postpone reinforcement.
