On the first day in the laboratory, Mickey Mouse was placed on a rodent activity wheel, which he runs at an average rate of 1 meter/10 minutes. In Days 2 to 4, it was observed that running was more frequent and faster after 10 trials of dispensing a piece of cheese to Mickey every time he consistently runs the wheel at a rate of 4 meters/10 minutes for an hour. However, on Days 5 to 6, despite the performance of this same target behavior, no cheese was forthcoming. What is likely to be observed on Day 7? A. Mickey Mouse continues running on the wheel at a rate of 4 meters/10 minutes. B. Mickey Mouse continues running on the wheel but at a rate closer to 1 meter/10 minutes. C. Mickey Mouse stops running on the wheel and gnaws and licks it instead. D. Mickey Mouse continues running on the wheel at a rate of 6 meters/10 minutes.
