Evaluating the cyclic ratio schedule as an assay of feeding behaviour in the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris).
The cyclic ratio (CR) schedule is a behavioural assay developed to study feeding in rats, in which the number of operant responses required to obtain food reward (the ratio requirement) increases and then decreases in a repeating cycle. In a recent study, we used the CR schedule with European starli...
