Self-imposed timeouts under increasing response requirements.Three male White Carneaux pigeons were used in the investigation. None of the results obtained contradicts the interpretation of self-imposed timeouts as an escape response reinforced by the removal of unfavorable reinforcement conditions, although some details of the performances reflect either a weak control and/or operation of other controlling variables. Timeout key responding can be considered as one of several classes of behavior having a low probability of occurrence, all of which compete with the behavior maintained by positive reinforcement schedule.
