Answer 21

Procedure involving reinforcement and extinction

Question 22

Differentiation results when

Mixed schedules 2 or more schedules of reinforcement. What are 2 attributes

Answer 32

That alternate Components aren’t signaled

Question 33

Chained schedule 2 or more schedules of reinforcement. What are 3 attributes

Answer 33

Operate sequentially in specific order Components are signaled Results in a terminal reinforcer
