Training Days 12 and 13: FR 18

For training days 12 and 13, we ran schedule FR18. On both days 12 and 13, Anne hit the lever over 1000 times! We were excited she finally made it over 1000 because it meant she understood the task at hand! On day 12, she hit the lever 1053 times in 30 minutes. By 6 minutes she had already hit the lever 240 times and 700 by 15 minutes. By the time she hit 22 minutes, Anne had hit the lever 1025 times. For the remaining 8 minutes, she hit the lever only 52 more times before time ran out. Anne was very energetic today and had hundreds of lever presses within only a few minutes. As soon as she got into the box she began hitting the lever so we knew day 12 was going to be a good day! Day 13 was even more successful than day 12! Anne hit the lever 1091 times! She seems to have gotten the hang of the lever press and has gotten very good at waiting for the light to go off to receive her treat. With FR18 going so well, she is going to be very disappointed and frustrated when we start extinction the next training day!
