Response Effort- The amount of effort a person must exert to be able to successfully
Behavior -Answer An organisms interaction with the environment. perform a particular behavior can have a direct influence on the frequency that the
person will exhibit the behavior.
Consequence - Anything immediately following a behavior in which we are interested.
Hernstein's Matching Law-Answer simply states that we (animals including humans)
perform behaviors in a ratio that matches the ratio of available reinforcement for those

occurred after fixed time has elapsed.
According to the matching law-Answer, when different schedules of reinforcement are
simultaneously available for different behaviors, individuals will distribute their behavior Variable Interval- This response schedule reinforces behavior after it has occurred after
