The performance of two monkeys, on fixed‐interval schedules, was examined with a visual, an auditory and a combined auditory‐visual clock. The clock, a voltmeter and/or a variable frequency tone, produced performances different in many aspects from those recorded earlier with pigeons. Instead of the sustained high rates of responding at the optimal settings of the clock, the monkeys' rates of responding were often extremely low even though a limited‐hold contingency was utilized.
