Q

Continuous Reinforcement (CRF)

A

behavior is reinforced every time it occurs

  • satiation
  • less resistant to extinction

behavior is sometimes reinforced

  • satiation unlikely
  • more resistant to extinction

Q

Fixed Ratio (FR)

A

every nth target behavior is reinforced

  • break and run pattern (staircase)

Ex: every 5th cup of coffee is free

Q

Variable Ratio (VR)

A

on average every nth target behavior is reinforced

  • looks linear (reinforced every 3rd, 5th, or X time)

Ex: slot machine / lottery tickets

Q

Fixed Interval (FI)

A

fixed amount of time passes, then first occurrence of behavior is reinforced

  • scallop pattern

Ex: completing assignments (has two weeks to turn it in - works on it and turns it in the day before its due)

Q

Variable Interval (VI)

A

variable amount of time passes (around average), then the first occurrence of behavior is reinforced

  • looks linear (reinforced every 2, 5, or X minutes)

Ex: watching shooting stars

Q

Fixed Duration (FD)

A

reinforcement contingent on continuous performance of a behavior for a fixed period of time

17
Q

Variable Duration (VD)

A

reinforcement contingent on continuous performance of a behavior for a variable period of time (around average)

18
Q

Fixed Time (FT)

A

reinforcement given every X time whether response occurred or not

19
Q

Variable Time (VT)

A

Reinforcement given on average every X time whether response occurred or not

20
Q

Ratio Strain

A

disruption of the pattern of responding due to stretching the ratio to abruptly or far

21
Q

Matching Law

A
  1. Concurrent ratio
  2. Concurrent interval
