ABA 503 Exam 2 Schedules of Reinforcement
a high response rate produces higher reinforcement rates - ANS-VR schedule: pattern
litle resistence to extinction; predictable topography in response stereotype; simplest schedule
of reinforcement - ANS-Continuous reinforcement schedules
little resistance to extinction - ANS-FR schedule: transition to extinction
moderate and constant rate of responding - ANS-VI schedule: pattern
post reinforcement pause, break and run pattern; length of PRP and rate increases as schedule
requirement increases - ANS-FR schedule: patterns
reinforced after some number of responses - ANS-ratio schedule
reinforced after some time has elapsed since some event - ANS-interval schedule
reinforced depending upon the rate or timing of prior responses - ANS-rate/timing schedules
relatively little resistance; fewer responses - ANS-FI schedule; transition to extinction
rules that establish the probability that the occurrence of a behavior will produce reinforcement -
ANS-schedules of reinforcement
scalloping; consistent over some relative time of interval; same rate 50% into interval across
interval lengths - ANS-FI schedule: pattern
schedules where some but not all responses are reinforced - ANS-intermittent schedules of
reinforcement
the first instance of behavior is reinforced after a constant interval has passed since some
environmental event - ANS-Fixed interval schedule: contingency
the first response is reinforced after changing a interval has passed since some environmental
event: rate of responding is much lower - ANS-Variable Interval Schedule: contignency
the irregular response patterns observed when an organism is first placed on reinforcement.
(choppy part that increases before a smooth increasing trend) - ANS-transition state
the last of a changing number of responses is reinforced - ANS-Variable Ratio Schedule:
contingency
