B05 Define & Provide Examples of Schedules of Reinforcement Part 1 Flashcards
Complex schedules of reinforcement include
Conjunctive schedules
A schedule in which reinforcement is delivered after a set number of responses is a
Fixed ratio
Reinforcement provided following the first response after a set length of time is
Fixed interval
For acquisition of new behaviors, during the early states of training you should use which schedule of reinforcement?
CRF
A child receives a token after an AVERAGE of every third question answered correctly. Which schedule of reinforcement?
VR3
When a reinforcer is available for only a finite period of time at the end of a fixed or variable interval schedule, the schedule has
A limited hold
A child always receives a token for the first correct response after a two minute timer sounds. Which schedule of reinforcement is this?
Fixed interval
Complex, or compound, schedule of reinforcement include
Alternative schedules
Basic schedules of reinforcement include
Fixed interval
Reinforcement is provided following the first response after a period of time, where the duration of the period of time varies around a specific average is
Variable interval
After every third question is answered correctly, reinforcement is delivered. Which schedule of reinforcement is this?
FR3
Responding under which schedule of reinforcement is characterized by a constant, stable rate, WITHOUT a post-reinforcement pause?
Variable interval
Complex schedules of reinforcement include
Chain schedules
Responding under which schedule of reinforcement is characterized by a high, steady rate, with a post-reinforcement pause.
Fixed ratio
Responding under which schedule of reinforcement is characterized by a post-reinforcement pause and an increasing rate as the end of the interval approaches?
Fixed interval
A schedule in which reinforcement varies around a specific average number of responses is a
Variable ratio
The probability that a behavior will be reinforced
Is determined according to a schedule of reinforcement
Responding under which schedule of reinforcement is characterized by a high, steady rate of responding without a post-reinforcement pause?
Variable ratio
Basic schedule of reinforcement include
Variable interval
Basic schedules of reinforcement include
Variable ratio
Basic schedules of reinforcement include
Fixed ratio
CRF is best for increasing or stabilizing behavior,
But intermittent is best for maintaining behavior change.
