A system has been constructed for the study of two- and three-choice behavior in animals, using either a free operant or discrete-trial procedure. An IBM-026 card punch is utilized to automatically program stimulus and reinforcement events, and to record choices and choice latencies. Eight Ss may be run simultaneously in the apparatus.
