Captains Log Day 0011: Fixed Ratio Schedule 1

Goal:
Our goal was for Captain Kirk to get at least 60 reinforcements from pressing the lever. Getting to 60 reinforcements will indicate that we can move on to the next schedule.

Procedure:
We put Captain Kirk into the conditioning box and then installed the shield so that she would not be distracted. After we put her in we just watched to see what kind of progress that she was making.

Results:
She pressed the lever 106 times in the first 12 minutes and then stopped. We continued the session to 21:10 but were not getting any more presses so we stopped early so that we did not have to back track the next training day.

Discussion:
We think that she would have pressed the bar more times is she had been hungrier. We think that she wasn't as hungry because she weigh 4 grams over weight. We were not upset with this training day because we felt that 106 times in 12 minutes was a great step for Captain Kirk. Tomorrow we plan on moving her onto FR 2.

Cumulative Record
