Question 1

Please match the following patterns of behavior with the schedules of reinforcement below.
(NOT ALL OF THE SCHEDULES BELOW WILL BE USED!)
-___ Variable ratio

Accepted Answer

A) After a response is reinforced, no responding occurs for a period of time. Then responding occurs at a high, steady rate until the next reinforcer is delivered. 
B) A moderate and steady rate of responding occurs, with almost no post-reinforcement pause. 
C) Responding occurs at a high rate, with almost no post-reinforcement pause. 
D) No response occurs immediately after reinforcement. Then the rate of responding increases slowly as the interval advances, until the final quarter of the interval where responding occurs at a high rate (fixed-interval scallop).

Accepted Answer

One example of accidental reinforcement

Question 3

Fill in the Blank
-Fixed-interval scallop (Fixed-interval pattern of responding)
$\bullet$A fixed-interval schedule often produces a scallop
$\bullet$______________________________,
$\bullet$with responding occurring at a high rate
$\bullet$____________________________reinforcement is available.
$\bullet$__________________________occurs for some time after reinforcement.

Accepted Answer

A fixed-interval schedule often produces

Question 4

Please match the following definitions with the terms below.
(NOT ALL OF THE TERMS BELOW WILL BE USED!)
-___ Superstitious behavior

Accepted Answer

A) A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a fixed interval of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement. 
B) A fixed-interval schedule often produces a scallop—a gradual increase in the rate of responding, with responding occurring at a high rate just before reinforcement is available. No responding occurs for some time after reinforcement. 
C) A reinforcer is delivered after the passage of a fixed period of time, independent of the response. 
D) Behaving as if the response causes some specific outcome, when it really does not. 
E) A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a variable interval of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement.
F)Variable-interval schedules produce a moderate rate of responding, with almost no post-reinforcement pausing.
G)The number of responses or the amount of time before a response extinguishes.
H)Intermittent reinforcement makes the response more resistant to extinction than does continuous reinforcement.

Question 16

On a variable-interval schedule of reinforcement, must a response occur before the reinforcer is delivered? Be sure to review the definition for variable interval schedule.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 17

What is the crucial difference between fixed-interval and fixed-time schedules?

Accepted Answer

A)  For a fixed-time schedule, the delivery of the outcome for a response is dependent on the first response after a specific amount of time. For a fixed-interval schedule, the outcome is delivered dependent on the passage of a specific amount of time regardless of whether a response has occurred. 
B)  For a fixed-interval schedule, the delivery of the outcome for a response is dependent on the first response after a specific amount of time. For a fixed-time, schedule, the outcome is delivered dependent on the passage of a specific amount of time regardless of whether a response has occurred. 
A)  For a fixed-time schedule, the delivery of the outcome for a response is dependent on the first response after a specific amount of time. For a fixed-interval schedule, the outcome is delivered dependent on the passage of a specific amount of time regardless of whether a response has occurred. 
B)  For a fixed-interval schedule, the delivery of the outcome for a response is dependent on the first response after a specific amount of time.
