Pigeons were exposed to a two-component multiple fixed-ratio X fixed-ratio Y schedule of reinforcement in which X was always less than Y. Components were equal in duration and alternated at rates that varied between 2 sec and 23.5 h. Relative response rate in the FR X component: (1) increased as the duration of components increased between 2 sec and 15 min, (2) was at a maximum between 15 min and 6 h, and (3) decreased as the duration of components increased from 6 h to 23.5 h. The changes in relative response rate were attributable primarily to changes in absolute response rates during the FR Y schedule as absolute response rates during the FR X schedule were relatively invariant. These results pose complexities for several theoretical formulations.
