Chapter 7The above cumulative recorder output is most likely the result of behavior being reinforced on a(n) _______________ schedule.

Which of the following schedules has the most dense ratio requirement? - FR 1 - FR 10 - FR 100 - FR 20

- FR 1

A mother puts her child in a time-out chair for 3 minutes. If the child moves out of the chair before the 3 minutes is up, the child has to go back to the chair and the 3 minute timer starts again from the beginning. Which schedule of reinforcement is this most similar to? - differential reinforcement of low rates of response - differential reinforcement of high rates of response - fixed interval - fixed time

- differential reinforcement of low rates of response

Long-distance runners or swimmers are encouraged to monitor their speed. If they go too quickly at the beginning, they'll tire themselves before the end. However, if they go too slow at the beginning, it will be too hard to catch up and get ahead by the finish line. In order to win, they need to maintain a steady pace throughout the race. What schedule of reinforcement is this most similar to? - differential reinforcement of paced responding - differential reinforcement of low rates of response - variable time - fixed time

- differential reinforcement of paced responding

You have an exam at the end of the week. At the beginning of the week, you do very little studying. As it gets closer to the time of the exam, your pace of studying increases. The night before you stay up all night to cram for the test. Once the exam is over, your studying frequency goes back to nearly zero. This pattern of behavior is most similar to that produced on a(n) __________________ schedule. - fixed interval - variable interval - fixed ratio - variable ratio

- fixed interval

The above cumulative recorder output is most likely the result of behavior being reinforced on a(n) _______________ schedule. - fixed ratio - variable ratio - fixed interval - variable interval

- fixed ratio

An organism is most likely to engage in taking a post-reinforcement pause if they have been reinforced on what types of schedules? - fixed schedules - interval schedules - variable schedules - ratio schedules

- fixed schedules

The subway stops at this station every 20 minutes. What kind of schedule is this most similar to? - fixed time - fixed interval - differential reinforcement of paced responding - fixed duration

- fixed time

Growing up, every time we would drive past an ice cream shop, my siblings and I would ask my dad to stop for ice cream. Occasionally, he would stop when we asked, so we could get ice cream. Our behavior of asking for ice cream appears be reinforced on a(n) ___________ schedule. - intermittent - continuous - occasional - delayed

- intermittent

A child is having difficulty staying focused during online learning. To help, his mother will occasionally come in and give him a quick hug whenever he's been continuously focusing on his class work. What schedule of reinforcement is this most similar to? - variable duration - variable interval - variable time - differential reinforcement of low rates of response

- variable duration

My best friend (a Baylor alum) sat down to watch the beginning of the NCAA men's basketball series with a Dr. Pepper and a bowl of queso. When Baylor won, he decided that he should start watching the next game of the series with the same "lucky" snack routine. This continued all the way through the national championship game (and will likely continue into next season). What schedule of reinforcement appears to be operating here? - variable time - variable interval - variable ratio - variable duration

- variable time
