According to the modern two-process theory, the tone CS that has previously signaled the end of a period of access to food is associated with the removal of reinforcement. Therefore, the presentation of the CS tone will decrease the keypeck rate as the male quail will associate the sound with the removal of the opportunity to access the quail hen.
