The performance of 6 pigeons was compared on chained and tandem VI-FR and VI-DRL schedules of reinforcement. In the case of the chained schedules, varying the value of the FR or DRL schedule in the final component seemed to have little effect on the rate of responding in the initial component. When a FR schedule was programmed in the final component, consistently higher rates of responding were found in the initial component of the tandem schedules when compared to the chained schedules. However, when a DRL schedule was programmed in the final component the opposite effect was observed, i.e., consistently lower rates of responding were observed in the initial component of the tandem schedule when compared to the chained. These results seemed to indicate that separate factors were controlling performance in the chained and tandem schedules.
