Optimization theory stages that organisms behave in a way that maximizes reinforcement or value. In a 2-response situation, pigeons'' response proportions approximately equaled reinforcement proportions, even when this behavior pattern substantially decreased the rate of reinforcement. Optimization or reinforcement maximization was not supported as the basic mechanism underlying choice behavior.
