Chapter 12 & 13

Question 0

A type of reinforcement that occurs when the termination, reduction, or postponement of a stimulus contingent on the occurrence of a response leads to an increase in the future occurrence of that response

Answer 0

Negative reinforcement

Question 1

A dependent or temporal relation between operant behavior and its controlling variables. If this…then that

Answer 1

Contingency

Question 2

A contingency in which responding terminates a stimulus

Answer 2

Escape contingency

Question 3

A contingency in which responding delays or prevents the presentation of a stimulus

Answer 3

Avoidance contingency

Question 4

A rule that describes the contingency of reinforcement, or which behaviors will be reinforced and which will not

Answer 4

Schedule of reinforcement

Question 5

A schedule that provides reinforcement for each occurrence of behavior - CRF

Answer 5

Continuos reinforcement

Question 6

A schedule that withholds reinforcement for an occurrence of a target behavior - EXT

Answer 6

Extinction

Question 7

A schedule in which some, but not all occurrences of a behavior are reinforced

Answer 7

Intermittent reinforcement

Question 8

Boundaries for all schedules of reinforcement

Answer 8

Extinction (EXT) continuous reinforcement (CRF)

Question 9

A lasting behavior change

Answer 9

Maintenance of behavior

Question 10

Two types of intermittent schedules

Answer 10

Ratio and intermittent

Question 11

Requires a number of responses before a response produces reinforcement

Answer 11

Ratio schedule

Question 12

Requires a number of responses before a response produces reinforcement

Answer 12

Ratio schedule

Question 13

Requires an elapse of time before a response produced reinforcement

Answer 13

Interval schedule

Question 14

A schedule that requires a specific number of responses to be completed before a response produced a reinforce (i.e., FR1, FR3)

Answer 14

Fixed ratio

Question 15

Little hesitation between responses; post-reinforcement pause; high rates of responding

Answer 15

Variable reinforcement

Question 16

A schedule that requires a varying number of responses to produce a reinforcer

Answer 16

Variable ratio

Question 17

A schedule that requires a varying number of responses to produce a reinforcer

Answer 17

Variable ratio (VR)

Question 18

Consistent, steady rates of responding, high rates of response; no post-reinforcement pause

Answer 18

Effects of variable ratio schedules

Question 19

Provides reinforcement for the first response following a fixed amount of time (FI 3)

Answer 19

Fixed interval (FI)

Question 20

Post-reinforcement pause in the early part of interval; slow but accelerating rates of responding; moderate rates of responding

Answer 20

Effects of fixed interval

Question 21

Provides reinforcement for the first occurrence of a response after a variable duration of time

Answer 21

Variable interval schedule (VI)

Question 22

The process of moving from CRF to Intermittent reinforcement

Answer 22

Schedule thinning

Question 23

2 or more contingencies operate independently and simultaneously for two or more behaviors

Answer 23

Concurrent schedule
