RBT Set 3

"A previously neutral stimulus change that has acquired the capability to function as a reinforcer through stimulus-stimulus pairing with one or more unconditioned reinforcers or conditioned reinforcers" best describes which of the following?

Conditioned Reinforcer

"A reinforcer delivered contingent upon the first behavior following the time period where the time period is fixed" describes which schedule of reinforcement?

Fixed interval

Scalloped patterns of responding are typically associated with which schedule of reinforcement?

Fixed interval

Which schedule of reinforcement requires the completion of a specified, unvarying number of responses to produce a reinforcer?

Fixed ratio

Money is most likely an example of a which of the following?

Generalized Conditioned Reinforcer

"The occurrence of a response produces the removal, termination, reduction, or postponement of a stimulus, which leads to an increase in the future occurrence of that response" best describes which of the following?

Negative Reinforcement

Providing a learner with a break following a correct response that increases correct responses is most likely an example of which of the following?

Negative Reinforcement

"When a response is followed by the presentation of a stimulus, and, as a result, similar responses occur more frequently in the future" best describes which of the following?

Positive reinforcement

Providing a learner with an iPad following a correct response that results in an increase in correct responses best describes which of the following?

Positive reinforcement

"If a behavior is followed closely in time by a stimulus event and as a result the future frequency of that type of behavior increases in similar conditions" best describes which of the following?

Reinforcement

"A stimulus change that can increase the future frequency of behavior without prior pairing with any other form of reinforcement" best describes which of the following?

Unconditioned Reinforcer

Food is an example of which of the following?

Unconditioned Reinforcer

Which one of the following is one of the four basic schedules of reinforcement?

Variable Interval

"A reinforcer delivered contingent upon the first behavior following the time period where the time period is variable" describes which schedule of reinforcement?

Variable interval

Which schedule of reinforcement requires the completion of a variable number of responses to produce a reinforcer?

Variable ratio
