Schedule of reinforcement

Question 1

Continuous reinforcement (CRF)

Answer 1

Reinforcement is provided for each occurrence of behavior (typically used to learn new behavior)

Question 2

Intermittent reinforcement (INT)

Answer 2

Reinforcement is provided for some occurrence of behavior (typically used to maintain established behavior)

Question 3

Fixed Ratio (FR)

Answer 3

Reinforce at a set number of responses

Question 4

Fixed Interval (FI)

Answer 4

Reinforce a response after a set amount of time

Question 5

Concurrent Schedule

Answer 5

Two or more basic schedules for two or mor behaviors at the same time (Matching law / choice)

Question 6

Multiple Schedule

Answer 6

2 or more basic schedules of reinforcement are presented alternating, in a random sequence for 1 or more behaviors (has SD signaling schedule)

Question 7

Variable Ratio (VR)

Answer 7

Reinforce a varying number of responses

Question 8

Variable Interval (VI)

Answer 8

Reinforce a response after a varying amount of time

Question 9

Mixed Schedule

Answer 9

2 or more basic schedules of reinforcement are presented in an alternating, random sequence for 1 or more behaviors (no SD signaling schedule)

Question 10

Chained Schedule

Answer 10

2 or more basic schedule of reinforcement are presented and occur successively and in order (SD present)

Question 11

Tandem Schedule

Answer 11

2 or more basic schedule of reinforcement are presented and occur successively ( No SD; trial by error)

Question 12

Alternative Schedule

Answer 12

A compound schedule combining the number of responses and time (second chance schedule; either /or )

Question 13

Conjunctive Schedule

Answer 13

A compound schedule combining the number of responses and time (both/and )
