With the horizontal electrooculographic potential as the operant, four monkeys ( Macaca nemestrina ) were conditioned to move their eyes at high and low rates by initial use of fixed‐ratio schedules of reinforcement, followed by a changeover to multiple schedules of fixed‐ratio reinforcement and discriminated differential reinforcement of low rate. These differences in rate of eye movement were not observed in a control animal given the same patterns of discriminative stimuli and deliveries of the reinforcing agent independent of its eye movements.
