chapter 7

Question 1

as acquisition of behavior

Answer 1

Most people use the term learning

Question 2

changes in which no new behavior occurs

changes in the pattern of behavior

Answer 2

Learning includes

Question 3

a rule describing the contingency between behavior and reinforcement

Answer 3

Schedule of reinforcement

Question 4

distinctive patterns of behavior (produced by different schedules)

Answer 4

Schedule effects

Question 5

a behavior is reinforced every time it occurs (or every response produces a reinforcer)

Answer 5

CRF - Continuous schedule (of reinforcement)

Question 6

reinforcement occurs for some responses but not others.

Answer 6

Intermittent schedule –

Question 7

Four simple schedules of reinforcement

Answer 7

FR - fixed ratio

VR - variable ratio

FI - fixed interval

VI - variatble interval

Question 8

reinforcement occurs after a set (or fixed) number of responses.

Answer 8

FR

Question 9

reinforcement occurs after an average number of responses

Answer 9

VR

Question 10

reinforcement occurs after the first response after a set (or fixed) amount of time.

Answer 10

FI

Question 11

reinforcement occurs after the first response after an average amount of time.

Answer 11

VI

Question 12

a pause after reinforcement

Answer 12

PRP

Post-Reinforcement Pause

(or)

Pre-ratio Pause

Question 13

the rate at which behavior occurs once it has resumed following reinforcement

Answer 13

Run rate

Question 14

reinforcement is withheld from a previously reinforced behavior (or a schedulw which no responses are reinforced)

Answer 14

Extinction

Question 15

a sudden increase in the response dimensions of a behavior when reinforcement is withheld

Answer 15

Extinction burst

Question 16

the reappearance of previously reinforced behavior

Answer 16

Resurgence

Question 17

the sudden reappearance of behavior following extinction and a period of time

Answer 17

Spontaneous recovery

Question 18

other schedules

Answer 18

FT - fixed time

VT - variable time

FD - fixe duration

VD - variable duration

Progressive ratio schedule

break point

(DR)?

Question 19

reinforcement is delivered after a fixed amount of time regardless of what behavior occurs

Answer 19

FT

Question 20

reinforcement is delivered after an average amount of time regardless of what behavior occurs

Answer 20

VT

Question 21

reinforcement is contingent on the continuous performance of a behavior for a fixed period of time

Answer 21

FD

Question 22

reinforcement is contingent on the continuous performance of a behavior for an average period of time

Answer 22

VD

Question 23

the requirement for reinforcement increases in a predetermined way following each reinforcer

Answer 23

Progressive ratio schedule

Question 24

the point which behavior stops on a progressive schedule

Answer 24

Break point

Question 25

the procedure of gradually increasing the number of responses required to reinforcement

Answer 25

Stretching the ratio

Question 26

the disruption of the pattern of responding due to stretching the ratio too abruptly

Answer 26

Ratio strain

Question 27

Six types of complex schedules

Answer 27

MIXED SCHEDULE MULTIPLE SCHEDULE CHAIN SCHEDULE TANDEM SCHEDULE COOPERATIVE SCHEDULE CONCURRENT SCHEDULE

Question 28

two or more simple schedules alternate each associated with a particular stimulus

Answer 28

Multiple schedule

Question 29

two or more simple schedules alternate with neither associated with a particular stimulus

Answer 29

Mixed schedule

Question 30

reinforcement is contingent on the completion of a last in a series of schedules none of which is associated with a particular stimulus

Answer 30

Tandem schedule

Question 30

reinforcement is delivered contingent on the completion of the last in a series of schedules each associated with a different stimulus

Answer 30

Chain schedule

Question 31

reinforcement is dependent on the behavior of two or more individuals

Answer 31

Cooperative schedule

Question 32

two or more schedules are available simultaneously

Answer 32

Concurrent schedule

Question 33

the tendency of behavior to be more resistant to extinction following intermittent reinforcement than continuous reinforcement

Answer 33

Partial reinforcement effect

Question 34

the principle that the rate of responding on two or more reinforcement schedules will match the rate of reinforcement on each schedule

Answer 34

Matching law
