Hi, With respect to the FI scallop and studying--my belief has been that if it smells like a duck, then it probably IS a duck. Thus, if it smells like an FI scallop, then the simplest explanation is that it is indeed an FI scallop, based on observable behavior. It's possible that the terms of the contingency are being misidentified in this case. What is the operant--studying? (How do you observe a student's private studying behavior?) Class attendance? Sleeping rather than going to class? Something entirely different? I think the operant is being confused here. Moreover, what is the reinforcer and when is it delivered? If you re-examine the contingency and the terms, they probably are being described by the FI scallop, it's a matter of specifying the situation more accurately. Carol
