Compound Schedules, Reinforcer Assessments, IOA

Question 1

Behavior that once learned exposes learner to new environments, reinforcers, contingencies, responses, or stimulus controls

Answer 1

Behavior Cusp

Question 2

Ratio and interval schedule presented simultaneously
1 behavior
Reinforcement only after both schedules met
Sd possible, but not necessary

Answer 2

Conjunctive Schedule of Reinforcement

Question 3

Duration, IRT, latency
More conservative IOA calculcation
Dur IOA 1 + Dur IOA 2 + Dur IOA N/Total # x 100

Answer 3

Mean Duration per Occurrence IOA

Question 4

2+ basic schedules/1+ behavior
Must be done in order (successively)
Sd signals which schedule is in effect

Answer 4

Chained Schedule of Reinforcement

Question 5

Behavior that once learned allows other untrained behaviors to occur. The untrained responses result in new reinforcement opportunities for the learner.

Answer 5

Pivotal Behavior

Question 6

1 stimulus/1 behavior/1 schedule
Response requirement gradually increased until responding stops and a breaking point is reached
Identifies how effective stimulus is as reinforcer

Answer 6

Progressive Ratio Schedule Reinforcer Assessment

Question 7

1 stimuli/1 behavior
2 schedules (1 response contingent, 1 noncontingent)
Sd signals which schedule is in effect
Stimulus functions as a reinforcer if responding increases under the contingent schedule and decreases under the NCR schedule

Answer 7

Multiple Schedule Reinforcer Assessment

Question 8

Interval Recording
Only intervals where at least 1 obs scored an occurrence used
# int both obs agree occ/# int agree + disagree x 100

Answer 8

Scored Interval IOA

Question 9

Event recording
More conservative IOA measure
Int 1 IOA + Int 2 IOA + Int N IOA/Total # Int x 100

Answer 9

Mean Count per Interval IOA

Question 10

Ratio and interval schedule presented simultaneously
1 behavior
Reinforcement after either schedule being met
Sd possible, but not necessary

Answer 10

Alternative Schedule of Reinforcement

Question 11

2+ basic schedules/2+ behaviors
Presented simultaneously, learner has choice between 2 schedules (matching law)
Sd possible, but not necessary

Answer 11

Concurrent Schedule of Reinforcement

Question 12

Interval recording
Likely to overestimate agreement
# Intervals agreement/Total intervals x 100

Answer 12

Interval by Interval IOA

Question 13

Event recording
Most stringent, conservative IOA measure
# Intervals 100% agreement/Total # Intervals x 100

Answer 13

Exact Count per Interval IOA

Question 14

2+ basic schedules/1 behavior
Presented successively (may be presented in random order)
No Sd to signal which schedule is in effect

Answer 14

Mixed Schedule of Reinforcement

Question 15

2+ basic schedules/1 behavior
Presented successively (may be presented in random order)
Sd signals which schedule is in effect

Answer 15

Multiple Schedule of Reinforcement

Question 16

2+ basic schedules/2+ stimuli (1 per schedule)/2+behaviors

Stimulus w/greater effect on responding is the more effective reinforcer

Answer 16

Concurrent Schedule Reinforcer Assessment

Question 17

2+ basic schedules presented/1+ behavior
Must be done in order (successively)
No Sd to signal which schedule is in effect

Answer 17

Tandem Schedule of Reinforcement

Question 18

Duration, IRT, latency
Simplest, crudest IOA calculation
Shorter duration/longer duration x 100

Answer 18

Total Duration IOA

Question 19

Interval Recording
Only intervals where at least 1 obs scored a nonoccurrence used
# int both obs agree nonocc/# int agree + disagree x 100

Answer 19

Unscored Interval IOA

Question 20

Event recording
Simplest, crudest IOA measure
Formula: small count/large count x 100

Answer 20

Total Count IOA

Question 21

Discrete trial 
# of trials agreed/Total # trials x 100

Answer 21

Trial by Trial IOA
