Training Day 9 and 10: FR 12

On training days 9 and 10 we ran FR12 in the operant conditioning box. On day 9, Anne made it through the entire 30-minute session and hit the lever only 547 times. We think the severe drop-off, from 959 the day before to 547 lever hits was because we trained her over an hour earlier. She was likely not as hungry and she seemed to be thrown off by the change in routine. 

Again on day 10 Anne's number of lever hits was much lower than some of her previous sessions but was much improved from training day 9. On day 10 Anne had 692 lever hits in 30 minutes. Anne was much more active today and appeared happy to be training at her usual time.
