16
Q

What is being described?

The response ration or the time required can change from reinforcement to reinforcement.

A

Variable schedules of reinforcement

17
Q

What are the effects of Fixed ratio schedules on behaviour?

A

Produces high rates of responding

Teend to produce quick responding in order to recieve reinforcement

18
Q

What effects does variable ratio schedules have on behaviour?

A

Produces consistent steady rates of behaviour

Responding remains steady as next response may result in reinforcement

19
Q

Why does FI produce a scallop graph

A

Particiapnts learn to discriminate the elapse of time

Response emitted after a reinforced response are never reinforced.

20
Q

What is being described?
Particiapnts learn to discriminate the elapse of time
Response emitted after a reinforced response are never reinforced.

A

FI scallop

21
Q

Describe limited hold

A

Is added to the interval schedule the reinforcement reamins available for a finite time following the elapse of FI or VI

22
Q

What is being described?

Is added to the interval schedule the reinforcement reamins available for a finite time following the elapse of FI or VI

A

Limited hold

23
Q

What does this mean?

FI5mins LH30sec?

A

The first correct response after the elapse of time 5mins with reinforcement only being available for 30 seconds after the correct repsonse following the elapse of time

24
Q

Describe schedule thinning

A

Changing a contingency of reinforcement by gradully increasing the response ratio or extending the time interval.
Result is lower rates or reinforcement

25
Q

What is being described?
Changing a contingency of reinforcement by gradully increasing the response ratio or extending the time interval.
Result is lower rates or reinforcement

A

Schedule thinning

26
Q

Describe ratio strain

A

A behaviourial effect associated with abrupt increases in ratio requirements when moving denser to thinner reinforcement schedules
