435 Test 3

Front 1

What did Ferster & Skinner observe?

Back 1

schedule effects of key pecking pigeons in an operant conditioning chamber

Front 2

schedule where each response is reinforced

Back 2

continuous

Front 3

schedule where only some responses are reinforced

Back 3

intermittent / partial

Front 4

4 types intermittent schedules

Back 4

fixed ratio

variable ratio

fixed interval

variable interval

Front 5

reinforcement contingent upon fixed predictable # of responses;

low ratio requi: reinforcement easy;

high ratio requi: reinforcement difficult;

run & step graph

Back 5

fixed ratio

Front 6

reinforcement contingent upon varying, unpredictable # of responses;

straight line graph;

ex: gambling

Back 6

variable ratio

Front 7

reinforcement contingent upon 1st response occurring after set period of time;

the longer the interval, the slower the rate;

upward scallop graph

Back 7

fixed interval

Front 8

reinforcement contingent upon 1st response occurring after varying, unpredictable period of time;

straight-line graph

Back 8

variable interval

Front 9

schedule of behavior must be performed continuously for a fixed amount of time

Back 9

fixed duration schedule

Front 10

schedule is unpredictable in nature; each trial has different interval length

Back 10

variable duration schedule

Front 11

contingent on how fast/slow a response is

Back 11

response-rate schedule

Front 12

fast performance;

set lower criterion

Back 12

differential reinforcement of higher rates DRH

Front 13

slower performance;

set max criterion

Back 13

differential reinforcement of lower rates LRH

Front 14

set max. & min. criterion

Back 14

differential reinforcement of paced responding DRP

Front 15

3 types response rate schedules

Back 15

differential reinforcement of paced responding DRP;

differential reinforcement of lower rates LRH;

differential reinforcement of higher rates DRH

Front 16

response independent schedules;

response delivered independently of behavior

Back 16

noncontingent schedules

Front 17

2 types noncontingent schedules

Back 17

fixed time;

variable time

Front 18

set a predictable amount of time but we don't care about behavior, non contingent

Back 18

fixed time

Front 19

time is varied for each trial; non contingent

Back 19

variable time
