-___ The principle of resistance to extinction and intermittent reinforcement


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.
