Day 5 - FR3

Time: 21:08
Protocol ID: 5 (FR3)
Event 1 Total: 99
Reinforcement Total: 33
Goal: Over 150 bar presses
Goal Reached: No

Since she pressed the lever 143 times on Day 4 of training, I decided to skip FR2 and go immediately to FR3.

Initially, she pressed the lever and looked for a reward. Because she wasn't used to the time schedule, she tried to climb up the feed magazine. At first she figured out that she should stay on the lever and press, wait to see if she gets rewarded, press again, wait, press again, receive reward.

Some intense grooming followed by exploring the box, not as many incidences of intense grooming as in previous sessions.

Potential slight regression. Occasionally she would touch/hover over bar without pressing it and still go search for reward after.

Half way through she would press, look for reward, press, look for reward, become bored and groom, explore, or try to climb up magazine. I think I may have made a mistake, and the transition from CR to FR3 absolutely needs FR2.

14:00 Press, look, press, press (consistently done 3-4 times in a row)
15:30 Press, press, look, press
19:00 Getting frustrated. Sometimes press, press, press. Other times press, press, climb up magazine, press

Still using paws + snout to press bar
