ABA 503 Exam 2 Schedules of Reinforcement
rules that establish the probability that the occurrence of a behavior will produce reinforcement -
ANS-schedules of reinforcement
transition state and steady state - ANS-two types of schedule patterns
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 predictable and steady patterns observed after an organism has experienced with a
schedule of reinforcement; orderliness has produced characteristic responses - ANS-steady
state performance
litle resistence to extinction; predictable topography in response stereotype; simplest schedule
of reinforcement - ANS-Continuous reinforcement schedules
schedules where some but not all responses are reinforced - ANS-intermittent schedules of
reinforcement
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
the last of a changing number of responses is reinforced - ANS-Variable Ratio Schedule:
contingency
a high response rate produces higher reinforcement rates - ANS-VR schedule: pattern
usually abrupt transitions from high rates to periods of no reinforcement - ANS-VR schedule:
transition to extinction
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
moderate and constant rate of responding - ANS-VI schedule: pattern
