Day 11 - FR12

Time: 30:00
Protocol ID: 22 (FR12)
Event 1 Total: ~230
Reinforcement Total: ~19
Goal: Maintain over 200 bar presses; press bar 8 times continuously
Goal Reached: Yes; No

Rat seems to be discouraged by the amount of times necessary to press the bar before being rewarded. Hopefully she doesn't interpret this as an extension schedule.

PRPs are much longer than previously observed.

Although the still will spend time at the magazine, she also will not try to crawl up nearly as much as before (in terms of number of attempts and time per attempt). Instead she will either look at it or keep her head and paws on the bar for an extended period of time.
