Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the information given, when the green light is turned on, the pigeon should not peck the disk. This means that there should be no increase in the number of responses recorded on the cumulative recorder. Therefore, the line on the cumulative recorder should not show an increase in slope when the green light is turned on, which rules out options A and B. The correct answer is therefore option C, as the slope of the line on the cumulative recorder should be shallower when the green light is turned on, reflecting the absence of responses. Option D doesn't make sense in the context of the question.
