Operant lever-pressing in Foxp2 conditional knockouts. a Rates of reinforcer delivery (top panel) and lever pressing (middle panel) throughout the FR8 task. (Bottom panel) press efficiency during the high-speed phase. Blue shading indicates high-speed sessions. b Examples of the behavioural microstructure of a control animal from day 1 (top panel) and day 12 (bottom panel) of the self-paced phase of the FR8 task. Blue dots represent lever presses, with red and black dots indicating the first and last presses of sequences. Black and red ticks on the x axis represent head entries into the food magazine and licks in the food bowl, respectively. Grey vertical lines denote reinforcer deliveries. c Number of lever presses in a sequence (top panel), sequence duration (second panel), inter-sequence interval (third panel) and mean within-sequence IPI (bottom panel) during the self-paced phase of the FR8 task. Error bands represent ± s.e.m
