Food Deprivation Results

Tessa was deprived of food for the duration of training in order to motivate her to seek reinforcement (sucrose pellets) in the Operant box. Tessa's target weight was 203 grams. Adjustments were made to maintain a weight near this target. Tessa was not fed on Saturday, October 6th. Therefore, she was fed twice on Sunday, October 7th.
