Suppose a pigeon is trained on a multiple schedule consisting of FR 10 when the response key is red and FR 100 when the response key is blue.If in the middle of one session the pigeon experiences the sequence FR 10,FR 100,FR 10,we would expect to see the longest post-reinforcement pause

The longest post-reinforcement pause is expected before the FR 100 because the pigeon has to make 100 responses to get reinforced, which is a higher requirement than the FR 10 schedules. This higher requirement typically leads to a longer pause as the pigeon may be less motivated to start the longer FR 100 schedule.
