dc.description.abstractDarkness has previously been shown to be an effective reinforcer for certain species of fish. In the present study, the effects of various lengths of darkness were tested consecutively as reinforcers for two lake sturgeons (Acipenser fulvescens) to determine the relationship between rate of behavior and reinforcement duration during a continuous reinforcement schedule. The results showed a small positive correlation between reinforcement duration and rate of responding, with the 20 seconds of reinforcement condition showing the most consistently high results.en_US
