Exam 5: Schedules of Reinforcement

Which of the following is not a characteristic of behavioral dynamics?

The feedback function of schedule performance refers to:

Online farming games often require the player to return after a certain amount of time to collect the crop. If the player fails to check the crop within a specified amount of time after it is ready for harvest, it dies and no longer pays off when harvested. This is an example of:

Darius works as a salesperson, getting clients to buy his products. He is paid a commission whenever he makes a sale. This is an example of a ______ schedule of reinforcement.

The major conclusion of Cohen, Richardson, Klebez, Febbo, and Tucker's (2001) study investigating forearm-muscle tension and feedback on five different schedules is that:

McDowell and Wixted's (1986) schedule with the molar properties of a VR schedule, but with the molecular properties of a VI schedule, is called a:

Roll, Higgins, and Badger (1996) tested the effectiveness of schedules of reinforcement for reducing cigarette smoking. The results of their study indicated that:

Infrequent reinforcement generates responding that is persistent, which is called the:

Increasing the number of responses required in a ratio schedule of reinforcement too quickly often results in a stereotyped pattern of behavior that includes emotional responding and a failure to perform the required behavior. This pattern of behavior is referred to as:

A schedule that is made up of a series of alternately presented fixed-ratio (FR) schedules with the values FR 5, FR 10, FR 20, FR 25, and FR 40 would be best described as:

Behavior is said to be in transition when it is between:

Progressive-ratio (PR) schedules are frequently used to evaluate:

Lowe and colleagues (1983) explained their observation that humans generated either high or low rates of responding, but not the typical schedule patterns observed in animals, during schedule training, by arguing that:

Resurgence happens when:

Apple's iPhone 6 introduced 3D touch, a technology that allows the phone to respond differently depending on how much force is used to touch the screen. This is an example of:

The postreinforcement pause is not caused by:

Mark's boss allows him to take a break after every 10 keychains that he assembles. This is an example of a ______ schedule of reinforcement.

The shape of the response pattern generated by an FI is called a ______.

Schedules of reinforcement were first described by:

Human performance on FI varies from animal data due to ______.
