TL;DR: The present experiment pitted explicitly presented close–far coding against an implicit mental number line and found that, despite instructing subjects to use a close-far coding scheme, they exhibited a typical SNARC effect, with small- number responses facilitated on the left and large-number responses on the right.
Abstract: Numerical judgments are facilitated for left-space responses to a smaller number and right-space responses to a larger number (the spatial–numerical association of response codes, SNARC, effect). D...

TL;DR: In this paper, 2 pigeons were trained to key peck on mixed fixed-ratio (FR) 100 FR 10 schedules, where the FR 10 frequency was controlled by a superimposed fixed-interval contingency which specified that FR 10 would occur following the first FR 100 completed after the interval elapsed.
Abstract: 2 pigeons were trained to key peck on mixed fixed-ratio (FR) 100 FR 10 schedules. FR 10 frequency was controlled by a superimposed fixed-interval contingency which specified that FR 10 would occur following the first FR 100 completed after the interval elapsed. FR 100s following FR 10s were preceded by long pauses and contained few primes, a run of responses approximately equal to the smaller ratio, followed by a pause. FR 100s following FR 100s were characterized by priming and were preceded by short pauses. These short pauses were approximately equal to the pause preceding the FR 10. The fact that primes, as in the FR 10, consisted of a run of approximately 10 responses preceded by a short pause suggests that primes resulted from the development of the FR 10 as a unit of behavior.

TL;DR: I am indebted to Professor Lighthill for some further illuminating remarks regarding this point and his comments on Heisenberg's Theory of Isotropic Turbulence are highly illuminating.
