A researcher places a rat in a chamber equipped with a lever, a food dispenser, and two lights (one red, one green). The researcher's goal is to train the rat to press the lever, but only when the green light is on. When the green light is active, a lever press results in a food pellet. When the red light is active, a lever press results in nothing. In this experimental design, what is the specific role of the two colored lights?
