the rule about reinforcement never change
Interval schedules of reinforcement are based on...
time
The following is an example of reinforcement

Positive; addition
The following is an example of reinforcement:
Bark, Bowl, Barking increases
Not an example of reinforcement:

The following is an example of a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement:
Every time Sara types 30 words, she earns a break from work
T/F: A schedule of reinforcement is a rule specifying which occurrences of reinforcement will be scored.
False
The following is an example of a variable ratio schedule of reinforcement:
If Sara types an average of 30 words she earns a break from work.
Schedule thinning is important because;
It matches reinforcement in natural environment and makes the response resistant to change
The following is an example of a fixed interval schedule of reinforcement;
Jake's parents give him a $1 when he plays an avg. of 60 mins.
T/F: Continuous reinforcement is used when teaching a new response
True
T/F: Fixed ratio and variable ratio schedules of reinforcement are both based on # of responses
True
T/F: Positive reinforcement & negative both strengthened behavior
True
T/F: To thin an interval schedule gradually increase the duration of the time interval that must elapse before the reinforce can be delivered
True
Ratio schedules of reinforcement are based on.....
a specific number of responses
With extinction, ________ responses with continuous reinforcement ______ responses are reinforced

A schedule reinforcement specifies which occurrence of ______ will be reinforced
behavior
The following is an example:

All are good secondary reinforcers except....
food
The following is an example of a fixed interval schedule
for every 60 minutes Jake plays violin he earns a $1
