6. Which type of schedule produces post-reinforcement pauses?

  • Fixed schedules
  • Variable Schedules

7. A response independent schedule means;

  • A response needs one reinforcer
  • A reinforcer needs one response
  • A response is not needed for a reinforcer
  • A reinforcer is not needed for a response

8. A schedule where each individual response is reinforced is;

  • A fixed ratio schedule
  • A continuous reinforcement schedule
  • An intermittent reinforcement schedule
  • Noncontingent Schedule
  • None of the above

9. Which type of schedules produce a higher rate of response?

  • Ratio schedules
  • Interval Schedules

10. A FI interval involves;

  • Reinforcement contingent on varying, unpredictable responses
  • Reinforcement contingent upon the first response after a fixed, predictable period of time
  • Reinforcement contingent upon the first response after a varying, unpredictable period of time

11. An FR 12 schedule is ______ than a FR 75 schedule

  • Harder
  • Denser
  • Leaner
  • Easier

12. The short pause after a reinforcer is called;

  • The prereinforcement pause
  • The reinforcement pause
  • The postreinforcment pause
  • The postreinforcer pause
  • None of the above

13. On a variable duration schedule, the behaviour must be;

  • A rat running in a wheel for an average of 60 seconds to earn a pellet of food
  • performed continuously for a varying, unpredictable period of time
  • All of the above
  • performed continuously throughout a period of time

14. Schedule effects are;

  • The different effects on behaviour produce by different response requirements
  • The type of behaviour that is elicited when learning in different ways
  • The different effects each schedule has on each other
  • The effect that a schedule has on the time it takes to carry out the behaviour

15. The Premack principle states that;

  • High probability behaviour can be used to reinforce low-probability behaviour
  • Low probability behaviour can be used to reinforce high-probability behaviour

16. Reinforcement is contingent on emitting at least a certain number of responses in a period of time, this is the definition of;

  • Differential reinforcement of high rates (DRH)
  • Differential reinforcement of low rates (DRL)
  • Differential reinforcement of paced reinforcement (DRP)

17. Which of the following is true?

  • Lower ratio requirements produce postreinforcement pauses equal to that of higher
  • Lower ratio requirements produce longer postreinforcement pauses
  • Higher ratio requirements produce longer postreinforcement pauses
  • Higher ratio requirements produce shorter postreinforcement pauses

18. Which schedule is made up of two or more simple schedules and consists of its own discriminative stimulus

  • Adjusting Schedule
  • Chained Schedule
  • Complex Schedule
  • Conjunctive Schedule

19. An FI schedule is often characterised by a;

  • Separate pattern of responding
  • Scalloped pattern of responding
  • Scattered pattern of responding

20. A VR schedule involves;

  • Reinforcement contingent upon the first response after a varying, unpredictable period of time
  • Reinforcement contingent on varying, unpredictable responses
  • Reinforcement contingent upon the first response after a fixed, predictable period of time
