Experiment 1 Figures (Commission Errors)

Ascending Fidelity First

Frequency of Target Responses

Frequency of Reinforcer Deliveries

Frequency of Other Behavior

*Note.* These graphs depict frequency of mouse clicks made on the background for participants in Experiment 1 who were exposed to DRO with 60% fidelity first.
BL = baseline, FI = fixed interval, CO = DRO with commission errors, % = percent of programmed fidelity.

Descending Fidelity First

Frequency of Target Responses

Frequency of Reinforcer Deliveries

Frequency of Other Behavior

*Note.* These graphs depict frequency of mouse clicks made on the background for participants in Experiment 1 who were exposed to DRO with 100% fidelity first.
BL = baseline, FI = fixed interval, CO = DRO with commission errors, % = percent of programmed fidelity.

Experiment 2 Figures (Omission Errors)

Ascending Fidelity First

Frequency of Target Responses

Frequency of Reinforcer Deliveries

Descending Fidelity First

Frequency of Target Responses

Frequency of Reinforcer Deliveries

Frequency of Other Behavior

*Note.* These graphs depict frequency of mouse clicks made on the background for participants in Experiment 2 who were exposed to DRO with 100% fidelity first.
BL = baseline, FI = fixed interval, OM = DRO with omission errors, % = percent of programmed fidelity.

Excluded Data Set from Experiment 2, Ascending Fidelity First with Omission Error

*Note.* These graphs depict frequency of target responses, reinforcer deliveries, and mouse clicks made on the background for participant 1119. This data set was excluded due to target responding not decreasing during DRO phases with 100% fidelity and the participant not earning at least 80% of available reinforcers during either DRO phase with 100% fidelity. BL = baseline, FI = fixed interval, OM = DRO with omission errors, % = percent of programmed fidelity.
BL = baseline, FI = fixed interval, OM = Omission errors.
