Compound Schedules

Question 1

Behavior Contrast and Multiple Schedules

Answer 1

Behavioral contrast is a phenomenon that results from an interaction among schedule components in a MULT schedule; that is, events in one schedule component affect responding in the other components.

Question 2

Compound schedules

Answer 2

A schedule of reinforcement CONSISTING of TWO or MORE types of the BASIC SCHEDULES. (FI, FR, VI, VR, CRF).

Question 3

In Multiple and Mixed schedules, schedule components alternate how?

Answer 3

Random; counterbalanced, or natural temporal sequence.

Question 4

Conjunctive Schedules

Answer 4

Two or more schedules of reinforcement are AVAILABLE at the SAME TIME. NO DISTINCT STIMULI (Sd) are correlated with each schedule (e.g., behavior A produces VR reinforcement and behavior B produces DRH reinforcement IN THE SAME CONTEXT).

Question 5

Tandem Schedules

Answer 5

Two or more schedules of reinforcement are available in sequence. Completion of schedule A produces schedule B, and completion of schedule B produces reinforcement. NO DISTINCT STIMULI are CORRELATED with each schedule component.

Question 6

Chained Schedules

Answer 6

Two or more schedules of reinforcement are available IN SEQUENCE . Completion of schedule A PRODUCES SCHEDULE B, and completion of schedule B produces reinforcement. EACH schedule component is CORRELATED with a DISTINCT STIMULUS.

Question 7

Resistance to extinction

Answer 7

refers to how long a behavior continues to be displayed even after it is no longer being reinforced.

Question 8

Chained Schedules

Answer 8

A schedule consisting of a sequence of two or more simple schedules, each with its own discriminative stimulus and the last of which results in a terminal reinforcer

Question 9

Compound Schedule of Reinforcement combine….

Answer 9

Combined elements of continuous reinforcement (CRF), the four intermittent schedules of reinforcement (FR, VR, FI, VI), differential reinforcement of various rates of responding (DRH, DRL), and extinction (CRF)

Question 10

Concurrent Schedules

Answer 10

Two or more schedules of reinforcement are AVAILABLE at the SAME TIME. In a concurrent schedule, EACH SCHEDULE is CORRELATED with a DISTINCT STIMULUS (Sd).

• operating INDEPENDENTLY and SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Question 11

Alternate Schedules

Answer 11

TWO or MORE SCHEDULES of reinforcement are ARRANGED. ALL SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS must be COMPLETED to receive reinforcement.

Question 12

Multiple Schedules

Answer 12

ALTERNATION of two or more SCHEDULE COMPONENTS. Each schedule component is CORRELATED with a DISTINCT STIMULUS (e.g., a VR schedule IN CONTEXT A alternates with a DRL schedule IN CONTEXT B).

Question 13

Conjoint Schedules

Answer 13

TWO or MORE schedules of reinforcement are AVAILABLE CONCURRENTLY (happening at the same time). The FIRST SCHEDULE COMPLETED produces REINFORCEMENT .

Question 14

Mixed Schedules

Answer 14

ALTERNATION of two or more SCHEDULE of Reinforcement. NO DISTINCT STIMULI (Sd) are correlated with schedule components.

Question 15

Three compound Schedules that have an SD? (Discriminated Compound Schedules of Reinforcement)

Answer 15

Concurrent Schedules
Multiple Schedules
Chain schedules

Question 16

Concurrent Schedules of Reinforcement (Cooper)

Answer 16

Occurs when (a) two or more contingencies of reinforcement (b) operate independently and simultaneously (c) for two or more behaviors.
