Question 15

Contrary to popular opinion among those less well educated than you, if we have two response keys in her Skinner box, Polly's response of pecking the VI 1′ key will be stronger than her response of pecking the continuous reinforcement key; in other words, she'll peck the VI 1′ key the most.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 16

Please match the following definitions with the terms below.
(NOT ALL OF THE TERMS BELOW WILL BE USED!) 
-___ Fixed-time schedule of reinforcer delivery

Accepted Answer

A)  A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a fixed interval of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement.
B)  A fixed-interval schedule often produces a scallop—a gradual increase in the rate of responding, with responding occurring at a high rate just before reinforcement is available. No responding occurs for some time after reinforcement.
C)  A reinforcer is delivered after the passage of a fixed period of time, independent of the response.
D)  Behaving as if the response causes some specific outcome, when it really does not.
E)  A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a variable interval of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement.F) Variable-interval schedules produce a moderate rate of responding, with almost no post-reinforcement pausing.G) The number of responses or the amount of time before a response extinguishes.H) Intermittent reinforcement makes the response more resistant to extinction than does continuous reinforcement.

Question 17

Please match the following patterns of behavior with the schedules of reinforcement below.
(NOT ALL OF THE SCHEDULES BELOW WILL BE USED!) 
-___ Variable interval

Accepted Answer

A)  After a response is reinforced, no responding occurs for a period of time. Then responding occurs at a high, steady rate until the next reinforcer is delivered.
B)  A moderate and steady rate of responding occurs, with almost no post-reinforcement pause.
C)  Responding occurs at a high rate, with almost no post-reinforcement pause.
D)  No response occurs immediately after reinforcement. Then the rate of responding increases slowly as the interval advances, until the final quarter of the interval where responding occurs at a high rate (fixed-interval scallop) . B

Question 18

Accepted Answer

Question 19

Describe the procedure and behavioral results of a variable-interval 2-minute schedule of reinforcement (VI 2′).

Accepted Answer

The variable-interval 2-minute schedule of reinforcement (VI 2') is a type of operant conditioning schedule in which a reinforcement is delivered after an average amount of time has passed, but the actual time at which the reinforcement is delivered varies. In this case, the average time between reinforcements is 2 minutes, but the actual time can vary from reinforcement to reinforcement.

The procedure for a VI 2' schedule involves setting a timer for 2 minutes and then delivering a reinforcement (such as food or praise) to the subject when the timer goes off. After the reinforcement is delivered, the timer is reset and the process begins again. The key aspect of this schedule is that the subject cannot predict exactly when the reinforcement will be delivered, as it varies around the 2-minute average.

The behavioral results of a VI 2' schedule typically show a steady rate of responding from the subject. Because the reinforcement is not tied to a specific behavior or time interval, the subject is likely to engage in the desired behavior consistently in the hopes of receiving the reinforcement. This schedule also tends to produce a moderate and steady rate of responding, as the subject knows that the reinforcement will come eventually, but cannot predict exactly when.

Overall, the VI 2' schedule of reinforcement is effective in maintaining a consistent level of behavior and can be useful in shaping and maintaining desired behaviors in both human and animal subjects.
