Two studies evaluated the effect of delivering water depending on lever-pressing in a proximal or distant location to the water-producing response. Effects were measured on the spatial distribution of behavior and on the frequency and patterning of lever pressing. In both experiments water was available under two concurrent, complementary fixed interval schedules in two dispensers located at opposite ends of the chamber. The proportion of water deliveries in one dispenser relative to the second dispenser varied between phases, while the overall frequency was kept constant. In one study rats received water from a dispenser proximal to the water producing response location, whereas in the second study rats received water in the dispenser at the opposite panel where the response was emitted. The number of obtained water deliveries varied according to the programmed proportion, but rats obtained fewer deliveries under the distal location contingency. No systematic variations on space allocation were observed in neither experiment. The results are discussed in terms of the importance of considering the continuous interaction of time and space parameters in the analysis of behavior.

时间突发事件取决于空间位置：远端和近端并发水表

两项研究评估了取决于在近端或远端位置的杠杆按压对产水反应的输送效果。测量了对行为空间分布和杠杆按压频率和模式的影响。在两个实验中，在位于腔室相对两端的两个分配器中，在两个同时存在的、互补的固定间隔时间表下可获得水。一个分配器相对于第二个分配器的供水比例在不同阶段之间变化，而整体频率保持不变。在一项研究中，大鼠从靠近产生水的响应位置的分配器接收水，而在第二项研究中，大鼠在发出响应的相对面板处的分配器中接收水。获得的水输送数量根据程序化的比例而变化，但在远端位置意外情况下，大鼠获得的输送较少。在这两个实验中都没有观察到空间分配的系统变化。根据在行为分析中考虑时间和空间参数的连续相互作用的重要性来讨论结果。
