56
Q

A sequence of responses in which each response produces a stimulus change that functions as conditioned reinforcement for that response and as a discriminative stimulus for the next response in the chain.

64
Q

A

Intermittent reinforcement

65
Q

A

Interval

67
Q

A

Variable

69
Q

A restriction placed on an internal schedule requiring that the response occur within a specified time limit following the interval to be eligible for reinforcement.

A

Limited Hold

70
Q

A

VI schedules

75
Q

77
Q

The contingency for reinforcement is governed by the time elapsed between successive responses (as opposed to responses per unit of time).

A

78
Q

Consist of two or more schedules operating simultaneously but independently of each other, each for a different response.

A

Concurrent schedules

79
Q

Consist of two or more alternating schedules, each associated with a different stimulus.

A

Multiple schedules

80
Q

The same as a multiple schedule except that there are no different stimuli associated with each component schedule.

A

Mixed schedules

81
Q

A conditioned reinforcer is produced by completion of the response requirements for that component schedule in the chain.

A

Chained schedules

82
Q

Similar to chained schedules but with no discriminative stimuli in the links of the chain.

A

83
Q
