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
