Define: VI
Define: Variable Interval Schedule CORRECT ANSWERS Variable Interval Schedule
Provide a reinofrcer the first time the target behaviour occurs after an interval, with the
interval varying around an average of N lengthVariable-interval schedule with a limited
hold schedule requires only one resonsebut that response must occur at an
unpredictable period of time. A sports-relatedexample of this would be "hot-ball" in
soccer, which has a nearly 0-second hold Thisdrill involves six players to stand in a

when the whistle is blown they willdish the ball off as soon as they can.

Define: Conditioned Response CORRECT ANSWERS The response to the conditioned
stimulus following learning
Define: Counterconditioning CORRECT ANSWERS The use of Pavlovian conditioning
to undo the adverse effects of earlier conditioning
Define: Unconditioned Response CORRECT ANSWERS Any response that does not
require learning
Define: Conditioned Stimulus CORRECT ANSWERS Any stimulus that when paired
with an unconditioned response produces that response after learning
Define: Unconditioned Stimulus CORRECT ANSWERS A stimulus that elicits a
response but that does not need to be learned
Define: Sensitization Training CORRECT ANSWERS Any form of counterconditioning
that reduces an inappropriate positive response to an event
occurs when repeated exposure or a single exposure to a stimulus inc. the intensity of
response
ex: if you are walking down the hall right after watching a scary movie & your friend
pops out and says Boo! you will likely startle --> sensitizes other stimuli than the one
being exposed to
Define: Aversion Therapy CORRECT ANSWERS The application of an aversive
stimulus when paired with a stimulus that evokes an inappropriate positive response
What are the rules for counterconditioning? CORRECT ANSWERS 1. Define the target
behaviour2. Identify the stimuli to be paired3. Pair the appropriate stimuli4. Monitor
results

Define: Stretching the Ration CORRECT ANSWERS Gradually increasing the number
of times a behaviour must be performed to qualify for reinforcement
Define: Ration Strain CORRECT ANSWERS A reduction in the rate of target behaviour
and an increase in emotional behaivour resulting from increases in the ratio of
behaviour to reinforcment
How can you recognize a fixed interval schedule on a cumulitive frequency graph?
CORRECT ANSWERS The scalloped pattern reflects the lack of effort post
reinforcement and the high degree of effort pre-reinforcement
Define: Maintenance Schedule CORRECT ANSWERS A reinforcment schedule that
maintains a target behaviour at a desired rate.
Define: Train sufficient exemplars CORRECT ANSWERS Train enough variants of the
environment or of the behaviour and the target behaviour will generalize
