Question 1: Differential Reinforcement of High Rates (DRH)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is provided at the end of a predetermined interval contingent on the number of responses emitted during the interval being greater than a gradual increasing criterion based on the individual's performance in previous intervals (e.g.

Question 2: Chained Schedule of Reinforcement (chain)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement in which the response requirement of two or more basic schedules must be met in a specific sequence before reinforcement is delivered; a discriminative stimulus is correlated with each component of the schedule.

Question 3: Tandem Schedule (tand)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement identical to the chained schedule except

Question 4: Matching Law

Answer:

The allocation of responses to choices available on concurrent schedules of reinforcement; rates of responding across choices are distributed in proportions that match the rates of reinforcement received from each choice alternatives.

Question 5: Schedule Thinning

Answer:

Changing a contingency of reinforcement by gradually increasing the response ration or the extent of the time interval; it results in a lower rate of reinforcement per responses

Question 6: Adjunctive Behaviors

Answer:

Behavior that occurs as a collateral effect of a schedule of periodic reinforcement for other behavior; time-filling or interim activities (e.g.

Question 7: Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates (DRD)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is provided at the end of a predetermined interval contingent on the number of responses emitted during the interval being fewer than a gradually decreasing criterion based on the individual's performance in previous intervals (e.g.

Question 8: Concurrent Schedule (cone)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement in which two or more contingencies of reinforcement (elements) operate independently and simultaneously for two or more behaviors.

Question 9: Multiple Schedule (Mult)

Answer:

A compound schedule of reinforcement consisting of two or more basic schedules of reinforcement (elements) that occur in an alternating

Question 10: Limited Hold

Answer:

A situation in which reinforcement is available only during a finite time following the elapse of an FI or FI interval; if the target response does not occur within the time limit

Question 11: Ratio Strain

Answer:

A behavioral effect associated with abrupt increases in ration requirements when moving from denser to thinner reinforcement schedules; common effects include avoidance

Question 12: Fixed Ration (FR)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement requiring a fixed number of responses for reinforcement (e.g.

Question 13: Alternative Schedule (alt)

Answer:

Provides reinforcement whenever the requirement of either a ratio schedule or an interval schedule - the basic schedules that makeup the alternative schedule - is met

Question 14: Continuous Reinforcement (CRF)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for each occurrence of the target behavior.

Question 15: Fixed Interval (FI)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is delivered for the first response emitted following the passage of a fixed duration of time since the last response was reinforced (e.g.

Question 16: Progressive Schedule of Reinforcement

Answer:

A schedule that systematically thins each successive reinforcement opportunities independent of the individual's behavior; progressive ratio (PR) and progressive interval (PI) schedules are thinned using arithmetic or geometric progressions.

Question 17: Schedule of Reinforcement

Answer:

A rule specifying the environmental arrangements and response requirements for reinforcement; a description of a contingency of reinforcement.

Question 18: Conjunctive Schedule (conj)

Answer:

Is in effect whenever reinforcement follows the completion of response requirements for both a ration schedule and an interval schedule of reinforcement.

Question 19: Variable Ration (VR)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement requiring a varying number of responses for reinforcement. The number of responses required varies around a random number; the mean number of responses required for reinforcement is used to describe the schedule (e.g.

Question 20: Mixed Schedule (Mix)

Answer:

A compound schedule of reinforcement consisting of two or more basic schedules of reinforcement (elements) that occur in an alternating

Question 21: Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates (DRL)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement (a) follows each occurrence of the target behavior that is separated from the previous response by a minimum interresponse time (IRT)

Question 22: Intermittent Schedule of Reinforcement (INT)

Answer:

A contingency of reinforcement in which some

Question 23: Variable Interval (VI)

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for the first correct response following the elapse of variable durations of time occurring in a random or unpredictable order. The mean duration of the intervals is used to describe the schedule (e.g.

Question 24: Postreinforcement Pause

Answer:

The absence of responding for a period of time following reinforcement; an effect commonly produced by fixed interval (FI) and fixed ratio (FR) schedule of reinforcement.

Question 25: Compound Schedule of Reinforcement

Answer:

A schedule of reinforcement consisting of two or more elements of continuous reinforcement (CRF)
