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. (This is the responding, not a schedule.) 
B) The way reinforcement occurs because of the number of responses, time since reinforcement, time between responses, and stimulus conditions.
