Molar maximizing theory predicts that behavior should match the relative value of the options, but it cannot explain why behavior is distributed so closely to the matching relation. This is particularly true for VI-VI schedules, where behavior is very close to the matching relation despite the fact that the options are not even in terms of reinforcement frequency or magnitude.
