Lecture 5

Question 1

Provides reinforcement for every occurrence of behaviour

Answer 1

Continuous reinforcement

Question 2

A contingency of reinforcement in which some but not all occurrences of behaviour produce reinforcement

Answer 2

Intermittent reinforcement

Question 3

Requires a number of responses before one response produces reinforcement

Answer 3

Ratio schedules

Question 4

Specific amount of time elapses before a single response produces reinforcement

Answer 4

Interval schedules

Question 5

Reinforcement is contingent on the occurrence of one response after the required time has elapsed.

Answer 5

Time schedules

Question 6

Ratio or the time requirement remains constant.

Answer 6

Fixed schedules

Question 7

A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is delivered for the first .response emitted following the passage of a fixed duration of time since the last response was reinforced.

Answer 7

Fixed interval schedule

Question 8

A schedule of reinforcement requiring a fixed number ofresponses for reinforcement

Answer 8

Fixed ratio schedule

Question 9

The response ratio or the time requirement can change from one reinforced response to another.

Answer 9

Variable schedules

Question 10

A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for the first correct response following the elapse of variable durations of time occurring in a randomn or unpredictable order.

Answer 10

Variable interval

Question 11

A schedule of reinforcement requiring a varying number of responses for reinforcement.

Answer 11

Variable ratio schedules

Question 12

Abrupt increases in ratio requirements when moving from dense to thinner reinforcement schedules.

Answer 12

Ratio strain

Question 13

Increasing response ratio or duration of time interval.

Answer 13

Schedule thinning

Question 14

Reinforcement remains available for a finite time following the elapse of the v1 or f1 interval

Answer 14

Limited hold

Question 15

The reinforcement of responses higher than a predeterimned criterion.

Answer 15

Differntial reinforcement of high rates of behaviour

Question 16

The reinforcement of responses lower than a predeterimed criterion.

Answer 16

Differenctial reinforcement of low rates of behaviour

Question 17

The reinforcement of responses lower than a predeterimined criterion.

Answer 17

Differential reinforcement of diminishing rates of behaviour

Question 18

Occurs when two or more contingencies of reinforcement operate independently and simultaneously for two or more behaviours

Answer 18

Concurrent schedules of reinforcement

Question 19

Presents two or more basic schedules of reinforcement in an alternating usually randomn sequence. Basic schedules occur successively and independently. A discriminative stimulus is correlated with each basic schedule and is presnt as long as the schedule is in effect.

Answer 19

Multiple schedules of reinforcement

Question 20

A schedule of reinforcement in which the response requirements of two or more basic schedules must be met in a specific sequence before reinforcement is delivered. A discriminative stimulus is correlated with each component of the schedule.

Answer 20

Chained schedules of reinforcement

Question 21

A compund schedule of reinforcement consisting of two or more basic schedules of reinforcement that occur in an alternating usually randomn sequence. No discriminative stimulus are correlated with the prescence or abscence of each element of the schedule. Reinforcement is delivered for meeting the response requirements of the element in effect at any time.

Answer 21

Mixed schedules of reinforcement

Question 22

Identical to the chained schedule except the tandem schedule does not use discriminative stimuli with the elements in the chain.

Answer 22

Tandem schedules of reinforcement
