On fixed‐interval reinforcement schedules, the time‐marker initiating each interval produces a pause before the terminal response begins (inhibitory temporal control). In four experiments on temporal control, two kinds of interaction in intercalated stimulus sequences were identified: confusion effects, reflecting similarities among stimuli, and attention (overshadowing) effects, reflecting differential memorability.
