This is an example of a multiple schedule, which means that two or more schedules of reinforcement are in effect in alternation, each signaled by a discriminative stimulus. In this case, the red light signals an FR 10 schedule and the green light signals an FI 10" schedule, creating two distinct schedules that alternate.
