EAB3002 Exam 2 Questions And Accurate AnswersContinuous schedule of reinforcement - ANSWER When each response produces
reinforcement the schedule is called ________. Has a reinforcer for every single
response EX. Every time that the rat presses the lever he gets a pellet.
Intermittent schedule of reinforcement - ANSWER this schedule does not have a
reinforcer for every response. This form of scheduling is based on either responses or
responses plus time.
How does the schedule affect behavior/ resistance to extinction - ANSWER Extinction
becomes far more resistant on an intermittent schedule of reinforcement. This is called
the partial or intermittent reinforcement effect;
.
.
Ratio schedules(FR/VR) - ANSWER there are a predetermined number of responses (I.E
every three attempts) that must first occur prior to reinforcement being made available
Fixed Ratio schedule - ANSWER A response-based schedule of reinforcement which
delivers reinforcement after a fixed number of responses are made. The organism must
make 10 responses for reinforcement.
Variable Ratio Schedule - ANSWER is a schedule of reinforcement in which a response
is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses. This schedule produces a
constant, high rate of responding.
Ratio/interval schedules(FI/VI) - ANSWER are based on an average of some time in
minutes before the next response will be Intermittent Schedules reinforced or number of
responses 3 attempts that must occur before reinforcement is available. Fixed:
rrrRrrrRrrrRrrrRrrrRrrrRrrrRrrrR Variable: rRrrrrRrrRrRrrrrRrRrrrRrrrrrR
, Fixed Interval Schedules - ANSWER A schedule of reinforcement in which the first
response is rewarded only after a specific amount of time has passed.
Ex. Imagine that you are using an operant conditioning procedure to train a rat to press
a lever and you reinforce the first response only after a 10-minute interval has passed.
The rat does not press the bar very much during the first 5 minutes since the last
reinforcement but starts pressing the lever more and more frequently as you approach
the end of the 10-minute mark. Another example would be getting paid every 7 days.
Variable-Interval Schedules- ANSWER A schedule of reinforcement in which a response
is followed by the reinforcing consequence after some-unpredictable-amount of time.
This schedule tends to generate a slow steady rate of response.
EX. Your psychology instructor may want to give you periodic pop quizzes to assess
your understanding of course concepts as well as to make certain you are studying

know exactly when he might give you a pop quiz. You may take two one week and then
not have one for two weeks
Postreinforcement PausePRP - ANSWER The pause in responding that occurs after
reinforcement on some intermittent schedules. FR and FI.
Pattern that data forms on a graph with different schedules of reinforcement - ANSWER
you can see
that variable ratio schedules produce the
highest rates of responding.
Scallop effect - ANSWER The typical pattern of response, appearing on a cumulative
record resulting from a fixed-interval schedule. There is a postreinforcement pause,
followed by a few probe responses, and finally an accelerating rate of response until
reinforcement.
Break and run - ANSWER A pattern of response, which sometimes develops on
fixed-ratio schedules when a long post-reinforcement pause is followed by a short burst
