Question 9: variable time (VT) schedule

Answer:

A schedule in which the reinforcer is delivered following a varying, unpredictable period of time, regardless of the organism's behavior Question 10: According to this theory (drive reduction), a _____ reinforcer is one that has been associated with a _____ reinforcer

Answer:

secondary; primary Question 11: _____ are the different effects on behavior produced by different response requirements. These are the stable patterns of behavior that emerge once the organism has had sufficient exposure to the schedule. Such stable patterns are know as _____ behaviors

Answer:

schedule effects; steady-state

Question 12: When the weather is very cold, you are sometimes unable to start your car. The behavior of starting your car in very cold weather is a(n) _____ schedule of reinforcement

Answer:

intermittent (partial) Question 13: In general, _____ tend to produce a high rate of response. This is because the reinforcer in such schedules is entirely _____ contingent, meaning that the rapidity with which responses are emitted _____ greatly affect how soon the reinforcer is obtained

Answer:

ratio schedules; response; does Question 14: For farmers, rainfall is an example of a noncontingent reinforcer that is typically delivered on a _____ schedule (abbreviated _____)

Answer:

variable time; VT
