Human participants in two experiments learned to perform behaviorally equivalent operants consisting of sequences of keystrokes on the computer keyboard. The independent variables were the number of times operants were practiced, both the ratios of those numbers as well as the absolute numbers. The dependent variable was the number of times each operant was then chosen in forced-choice tests.
