21
Q
Continuous reinforcement schedule (CRF)
A
specifies that each and every single response that is emitted is reinforced; that is, reinforcement occurs each and every single time that the bx occurs.

29
variable interval schedules of reinforcement (VI)
specify the average interval of time after which a response is eligible for reinforcement
30
interval schedules of reinforcement with a limited hold
specify a specific interval of time after which a response is eligible for reinforcement and for how long does this interval of time last.
31
Patterns of responding characteristic of fixed schedules of reinforcement
unsteady responding
| longer post-reinforcement pause
32
patterns of responding characteristic of variable schedules of reinforcement
steady responding
| shorter post-reinforcement pause
33
patterns of responding characteristic of ratio schedules of reinforcement
higher rates of responding
34
patterns of responding characteristic of interval schedules of reinforcement
lower-rates of responding
35
patterns of responding characteristic of fixed ratio (FR) schedules of reinforcement
unsteady high-rates of responding
| longer post-reinforcement pause (all or none pattern)
36
patterns of responding characteristic of variable ratio (VR) schedules of reinforcement
steady high-rates of responding
| shorter post-reinforcement pause
37
patterns of responding characteristic of fixed interval (FI) schedules of reinforcement
unsteady low-rates of responding
| longer post-reinforcement pause (scallop pattern)
38
patterns of responding characteristic of variable interval (VI) schedule of reinforcement
steady low- to moderate- rates of responding
| shorter post-reinforcement pause
39
ratio strain
extinction may occur if reinforcement schedules are thinned too quickly (even though there is a reinforcement schedule in place)
40
response independent stimulus delivery
| time-based schedules of reinforcement
specify interval of time in which a stimulus is presented
41
differential reinforcement of high-rates of responding (DRH)
specify minimum rate of responding for a reinforcer to be delivered
42
Differential reinforcement of high-rates of responding inter-response-time (DRH-IRT)
specify maximum inter-responce time for a reinforcer to be delivered.
43
behavioral contrast
if a bx has been maintained in more that one context, and a consequential operation changes the rate of behavior in one of these contexts, the rate of bx may change in the opposite direction in the other contexts despite no changes in the contingencies in these other contexts
44
compound schedules of reinforcement
concurrent
multiple
mixed
chained
45
concurrent schedules of reinforcement
2 or more schedules of reinforcement operating simultaneously but independent of each other, each for a different response.
element of choice
46
multiple schedules of reinforcement
2 or more alternating schedules of reinforcement each associated with a different stimulus
47
mixed schedules of reinforcement
2 or more alternating schedules of reinforcement, but there are not different stimuli associated with each component schedule (no signal)
48
chained schedules of reinforcement
completion of one schedule of reinforcement produces a stimulus change that reinforces the completion of this schedule requirement and signals that a new schedule of reinforcement is in place. completion of the new schedule requirement results in the delivery of a reinforcer.

refer to stimulus that has multiple functions
